When Mr. Changqing learned about this, he was furious: "Nonsense, nonsense! How can such valuable things be handed over to the Zoroastrian barbarians?"
Su Wangting said: "I have known Elder Mu for many years, and he is a trustworthy person. Previously, the Maocai Society took advantage of the situation, and it was with the help of Elder Mu that we were able to counterattack the entire army."
Mr. Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "No wonder the Zoroastrian suddenly gathered a crowd and made a noise, demanding that we hand over the sacred objects. It turned out that you were the troublemaker!"
On the side, Cheng Sanwu cursed: "What? Are you still reasonable? When you robbed others, didn't you think that you would end up like this?"
The corner of Mr. Changqing's mouth twitched, as if he was aggrieved for a moment. Su Wangting continued: "Before this, Elder Mu mentioned to me that the Mani Pearl may not be a sacred object of Zoroastrianism. I handed over the Mani Pearl... or the Star Marrow.
Giving it to him is to use the power of Zoroastrianism as a cover. As for the reason behind this, Mr. Changqing should understand."
"Duhu Mansion? No." Mr. Changqing felt a dull pain in his eyes and gritted his teeth: "That night we were attacked by a sand-lurking dragon and a horseman. It must have been a careful plan. Someone has been secretly plotting to seize the star marrow!"
"I think so too." Su Wangting echoed: "To be honest, sir, Cheng Sanwu was also attacked by demons when he was escorting the star marrow. It can be seen that there are experts behind the scenes who are paying close attention to the movements of this thing, and there are also a group of thieves under his command.
Not ordinary people can deal with monsters."
"So you just handed it over to the Zoroastrian Cult?" Mr. Changqing still couldn't accept it: "At this juncture, even if you entrust the Star Marrow to the Protectorate, it would be better than handing it over to the barbarians."
"Of course you would say that." Cheng Sanwu was not surprised at all: "Wu Maocai colluded with the Duhufu because he was the son of a British prince. Otherwise, with the manpower of your Maocai Society, you really think you can fight us.
?”
Mr. Changqing was unforgiving and said sarcastically: "Ignorant and reckless man, if I hadn't been seriously injured, I would have taught you the supreme magic in Yinfu Tianji Lun!"
Cheng Sanwu held each other's hands, making the joints crackle: "Then let me tell you clearly, Wu Maocai is blessed with magic, but he was still beaten to death by me. Your magic is of no use."
Mr. Changqing's cheeks twitched, and he was sulky. From the bottom of his heart, he despised a martial artist like Cheng Sanwu, but at this time he did not dare to contradict him, for fear that the other party would really take his life.
"Speaking of spells." Afu spoke again at this time: "You are like this now because of the backlash of spells, right?"
Mr. Changqing lowered his head and admitted in a low voice: "Not bad."
"Have you never thought about the reason?" Afu asked tentatively.
"Why?" Mr. Changqing fell into deep thought, and then seemed to think of something. He immediately sat cross-legged on the couch and formed a seal with his hands.
"This... how could the energy between heaven and earth become like this?"
After a while, blood flowed from Mr. Changqing's nostrils. He wiped it in a panic, with an incredible expression on his face.
Su Wangting thrust a cloth handkerchief into the opponent's hand and took the opportunity to ask: "Sir, do you know the reason?"
"It's a barrier! An incomparably large barrier!" Mr. Changqing's tone and fingers trembled at the same time.
Su Wangting and Cheng Sanwu didn't know much about magic, so they looked at Afu at the same time, and she asked proactively: "Is it the barrier that protects the dojo cave?"
"Absolutely." Mr. Changqing quickly added: "Whether it is the Six Ding Liu Jia method of Taoism, the protection spell of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism, or even the magician's pulling of knots and sprinkling paper money, they all use magic power to draw boundaries and distinguish between inside and outside."
Afu asked again: "But no matter what sect or sect, the barrier is set up to prevent external invasion. It is always safe within the barrier. How can it cause a spell backlash?"
Mr. Changqing laughed a little awkwardly: "Don't you understand? As a Taoist, if I rashly break into the mandala and Vajra ground arranged by the Buddhist monks, I will not be able to connect the heaven and the earth with my true energy and summon the wind and thunder.
, and even had to be besieged by Shou Jie Jialan.
"On the other hand, if there is that bald donkey with no eyes who dares to break into the Taoist cave, the cloud barriers of various confusing arrays will be enough to block the way forward. If necessary, they can also prohibit all the magic, hardware and weapons in the world, regardless of the magician.
He is still a martial artist, but he has become a mere mortal."
"Restricted hardware weapons? No wonder Lao Su's Iron Palm Kung Fu couldn't hurt Wu Maocai." Cheng Sanwu sneered: "What a pity, I can defeat him without weapons."
Mr. Changqing couldn't refute. He really didn't expect that Cheng Sanwu could defeat Wu Maocai with his bare hands.
"That is to say, someone has set up a barrier to cover the Western Region, causing backlash when you cast spells." Afu Bi's eyes turned: "But Wu Maocai has magic protection on his body, so what's going on?"
Mr. Changqing thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any water? I'm thirsty."
Su Wangting didn't say much, and poured him a bowl of warm water. Mr. Changqing raised his head and drank it. After taking a breath, he said: "I don't know the specific situation, but such a vast barrier, not to mention how much profound magic power is needed, is
It is inevitable that it cannot cover everything. I guess that the backlash caused by the spell casting is due to the use of one's own true energy to connect the yin and yang of the heaven and earth. And the spell that blesses Mr. Wu is the power of divine dissemination of qi, so there is no hindrance."
"What the hell? I don't understand." Cheng Sanwu was confused.
Su Wangting explained: "Mr. Changqing's blessing of magic to Wu Maocai is equivalent to borrowing a piece of clothing for him to wear. And driving the wind and thunder is like scooping water from a pond. The current Western Region does not allow scooping water, and it will be done by force.
Being punished...is it appropriate for me to say this?"
Su Wangting's last sentence was to ask Mr. Changqing. He nodded somewhat critically: "Although it is crude, that's basically it."
"Who can set up such a barrier?" Afu seemed to be more concerned about this matter.
"I don't know." Mr. Changqing shook his head and said: "I have never seen such a vast barrier. Even the two immortal masters Luo and Ye in the court can't do it!"
Su Wangting said: "But now it seems that the person behind the plan to seize the star essence is quite skilled in magic."
"Perhaps there is another way." Mr. Changqing said: "If we are well prepared at the beginning of the earth veins where the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers gathers and condenses, we should be able to activate the vast barrier."
"Is there such a place in the Western Regions?" Afu asked.
Mr. Changqing thought for a moment and said: "When I was on the way to Quzhi City, I saw the towering Tianshan Mountains, which are majestic and majestic. They divide the Western Region into north and south. The melted water from the glaciers nourishes the vegetation and nourishes the people. It can be regarded as the god of the Western Regions.
Shu. If there really is such a blessed land spiritual cave, it should be in the Tianshan Mountains."
"It's all for nothing." Cheng Sanwu sneered and said, "The Tianshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Who knows where the spiritual cave of this blessed land is?"
"For an ignorant and reckless man like you, it's better if you don't speak. But once you speak, the stench of ignorance fills the world and makes me breathless!" Mr. Changqing retorted.
Cheng Sanwu stepped forward and threatened: "Then I will strangle you to death now to save you the effort to breathe!"
Mr. Changqing is also a stubborn person who refuses to give in: "You have this strength, why not use it to kill yourself."
"Okay, okay! We're not three years old anymore, so why bother?" Su Wangting quickly dissuaded the two of them.
"Master Su, I think you still don't understand the current situation." Mr. Changqing said: "There is such a master behind the scenes, who occupies the blessed land's spiritual cave, lays out a vast barrier, and can also command powerful demons and all kinds of enemies.
Bandit, do you think it will be safe if the star marrow is handed over to the Zoroastrian elders? Once the star marrow falls into the hands of this master behind the scenes, it will definitely be a catastrophic disaster!"
Su Wangting had to reflect on his actions at this time. Mr. Changqing tilted his head slightly: "The woman who just spoke, are you not an ordinary person? I sensed a pure Yin energy, which is deep and unpredictable."
"Just call me Afu." Afu replied casually without going into details.
Mr. Chang Qing went on to say: "You guys are robbing the star marrow just to work for Prime Minister Lu of the DPRK. But if you lose the star marrow, guess whether the vicious Prime Minister Lu will protect you."
?”
Su Wangting asked in reply: "Wu Maocai was buried in the desert, how will Mr. Changqing get along? He won't be treated well by the British government even if he thinks about it."
"Do you think I follow Mr. Wu because I want to cling to power?" Mr. Changqing retorted: "If you see it that way, you are looking down on me!"
"Oh? Please give me some advice from Mr. Changqing." Su Wangting was persuasive. Cheng Sanwu laughed secretly when he saw this. Mr. Changqing had a bad temper and had a high self-esteem, but he was manipulated casually by Old Su's few words.
Mr. Chang Qing raised his head proudly: "My master, Daguan Zhenren, watched the stars and predicted the coming chaos, which would start in the northwest. That's why I joined the Maocai Society to assist Mr. Wu to explore the situation in the Western Regions and resolve the Xingxui chaos.
How can you, ordinary people like you, know our intentions?"
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about? A chaos is about to happen?" Cheng Sanwu immediately scolded: "I think you are the troublemakers. If Maocai Society hadn't intervened, we would have sent the Broken Star Marrow to Chang'an long ago!"
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The fact that the star marrow passed through the Western Regions is one of the chaos!" Mr. Changqing was so anxious that he patted the bed repeatedly: "Have you ever thought that this thing should not be sent!
If you don’t respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you don’t value hard-to-find goods, the people will not steal! Don’t you understand these simple truths?”
"What the gentleman said was just to guard against the slightest possibility." Su Wangting sighed softly: "But now that the Star Essence has actually arrived in the Western Region, causing competition among all parties, naturally we have to consider how to deal with it. Since the sir has guessed that there is someone behind the scenes using the blessed land's spiritual cave
Can we find the specific location after setting up a barrier?"
"What? Your Baochang Society still cares about these things?" Mr. Changqing questioned.
"If things are really as he said, then it is reasonable for us to make more preparations." Su Wangting said frankly.
Mr. Changqing took the easy way out and thought for a moment before saying: "I don't know much about the mountains and rivers geography of the Western Regions, but just now I could vaguely sense the rising earth energy, such as the glory of the Yuyun mountain, the floating light of the ancient cellar, etc.
Hidden and half exposed, the Blessed Land Spiritual Cave should be located somewhere in the mountains in a huge, abundant water place."
"A place with abundant water?" Afu asked: "With the continuous glaciers on the Tianshan Mountains, does it count?"
"The images of glaciers and swamps are different, how can we generalize them?" Mr. Changqing was a little annoyed.
"Then it can only be a lake in the mountains." Su Wangting frowned and said, "I remember that there seems to be a large Tianchi at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain."
Mr. Changqing smiled contemptuously and said: "It's useless even if you know the location of this place. How can someone who can activate such a vast barrier be unprepared? Why don't you think carefully about how you will face the British if you kill Mr. Wu?
The Duke and the Protectorate."
Su Wangting took his time and said: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this for us. Please stay here to rest and recover for the time being."
After leaving the courtyard, Cheng Sanwu was still aggrieved: "You just let him go?"
"Wu Maocai is dead. We don't need to kill them all." Su Wangting persuaded: "And I let him go to leave a way out. If things get difficult to deal with, someone needs to mediate for us."
"Just that stinky and arrogant person?" Cheng Sanwu crossed his arms and shook his head and said, "I can't trust him."
Su Wangting said: "People who practice Taoism like Mr. Changqing will inevitably think highly of themselves, but as long as we give him a little comfort and make him feel treated with courtesy and respect, he will naturally be used by us."
"You know these things better than me, so let's do whatever you want." Cheng Sanwu waved his hand, too lazy to ask any more questions.
"I also make careless calculations sometimes." Su Wangting frowned and said, "Mr. Changqing's words are not unreasonable. Giving the star marrow to Mu Xide may not be a good idea."
"Then go get the things back?" Cheng Sanwu asked.
"Now? We have just returned from the Fire Worship Temple." Su Wangting felt deeply troubled: "Besides, there are personnel from the Duhufu Palace patrolling outside Baochangfang. I can't leave now."
Cheng Sanwu didn't care: "It's just a few people. If you can't, just sneak out at night. I guarantee they won't find out."
Su Wangting also felt that this plan was feasible, nodded slightly, and then looked at Afu who was standing in the shadow of the eaves.
"What do you think of Miss Afu?" Su Wangting asked.
"I don't like the atmosphere over there at the Fire Worship Temple, so I won't go with you." Afu said with a hint of disgust: "But looking at you, you don't seem to be worried about your current situation? The Protectorate came to search your house today.
, maybe you will be arrested and imprisoned tomorrow."
"In the final analysis, I am just a businessman. No matter how much money I make, it is still a lowly career. What can I do if the government comes to cause trouble?" Su Wangting was very open-minded: "And Wen Changshi's actions are within the law, even if the government comes to China in the future.
He can handle it even if he is questioned and investigated."
"You can see clearly." Afu chuckled, and then looked at Cheng Sanwu: "You are so obsessed with fighting and killing, can't you imitate others?"
"You want to take care of it?!" Cheng Sanwu retorted.
"Lao Cheng, tonight you and I will go to the Fire Worship Temple to find Mu Xide." Su Wangting said after thinking, "As for whether we want to recover the Star Essence, let me think about it again. If Zoroastrianism can protect it,
This thing is the best."
Cheng Sanwu rarely turned his head: "If there is really someone behind the scenes who wants to steal the Star Marrow, it must be tonight. And we might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to capture this person!"
Su Wangting quickly said to Afu: "Look, when talking about fighting, Lao Cheng is still very smart!"
"It's like she suddenly appeared at the inn in Hongsha Town!" Cheng Sanwu complained.
Afu was not displeased by this, but said: "I have changed my mind and will go to the Fire Worship Temple with you tonight to see if anyone really shows up to steal the treasure."
