Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 678: Like water

Lotus Pond Tiangong.

Fei Guan leaned against the door, his mana surged out and turned into white fish and blue cranes. He slowly restrained himself when he realized that Lu Tong had no intention of taking action.

"Lu Tong, what do you want?"

Lu Tongtong: "How can we fight and kill like outsiders when it comes to our own affairs?"

Feiguan cannot be killed yet.

The Eight Hundred Immortal Ships are all under the protection of Lian Zhoushan in name. If they make mistakes, they should be punished by Lian Zhoushan. Before using the flying crown, Lian Zhoushan must give an explanation.

Yu Chao stood up and said: "Feiguan, you said that Yun Ao ordered people to attack the Feiguan Immortal Ship. Is there any evidence for this?"

"Everyone with a discerning eye knows everything."

"Who has discernment?"

Fei Guan looked at Lu Tong, his eyes fixed for a moment and then quickly looked away, and said: "In this matter, only Yun Ao has gained the most. Who else could it be besides her?"

"Really? When the Jingchao Immortal Ship was robbed, I gained the most in the end and was the one who instigated it?"

"These are two different things, how can they be confused!"

Fei Guan looked at Lu Tong again.

In addition to Yun Ao who benefited from what happened back then, there was also King Zizhen who took action. Only Lu Tong knew the best.

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Yun Ao. At that time, there was chaos in all directions, and the Flying Crown Immortal Ship was weak, so it would naturally attract people to covet it."

Fei Guan took another half step back, almost leaving the hall.

Lu Tongtong: "There is no need to talk about what happened back then. You must confess your collusion with Jiguo this time, otherwise even Zhoushan will not be able to protect you."

"You know everything, what else do you need to confess?"

"A lot. For example, the ins and outs and details, you should have a lot to say."

Fei Guan lowered his head slowly, remained silent for a breath, and said, "What will happen if I explain, and what if I don't?"

"If you explain, you are still one of our own. If you don't, we will have to ask the elders of Lianzhoushan to report the matter to your ancestor."

Fei Guan remained silent.

Lu Tongtong: "Junior sister, who is in charge of punishment in Shu Kingdom?"

"Jinya."

"Send an order to Jin Ya to handle this matter in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Shu."

"Okay."

Yuchao went to call someone outside the palace.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Jinya, Juliu, and Bameng appeared outside the hall together.

"Flying Crown King, please follow me."

Fei Guan has been standing at the door, suddenly raised his head and said: "Lu Tong, God is watching what you do. If you seize the fairy ship and act recklessly, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lu Tong looked calm, watched Fei Guan go away, and sat back on the couch.

Jade Chao also entered the palace.

"Senior brother, how to deal with Fei Guan?"

"No rush, wait first."

Lu Tong looked outside the hall.

Half an hour later, a maid quickly entered the palace, handed over a letter, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the transcript of the interrogation of Chief Yaowei."

Jade Chao opened it, glanced at it, and placed it on the long table.

Lu Tong looked down.

The content of the transcript is very simple. As mentioned before, Feiguan colluded with Jiguo in order to regain the fairy ship one day.

After reading it, he shook his head and said, "Not enough."

"What else?"

"Shelu, Xianghuan, Jiguo, nothing that needs to be said has been said."

After Lu Tong finished speaking, he blinked and said, "Where is Yun Ao?"

"I have been in retreat at Qibao Mansion."

"Send someone to ask Yun Ao and let her interrogate it personally."

Yuchao hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay."

Lu Tong saw his scruples and said: "Junior sister, Yun Ao is also the real Yuanying and the descendant of Laojun. You can't make the mistakes she made again."

Yun Ao made many mistakes, the biggest of which was being too suspicious, which was why he was betrayed by everyone.

A long time passed.

It was getting late, and the maid returned again, handed over a thick envelope, and said: "Your Majesty, this is... the transcript of the interrogation of the former Majesty."

Lu Tong looked again.

After turning over two pages and seeing a few sentences related to Xiang Huan, his expression condensed slightly and he said: "Foster daughter, Wu Chudao, who is Wu Chudao?"

The record says that Xianghuan is Wu Chudao's adopted daughter, and everything is arranged by Wu Chudao.

Yuchao thought for a moment and said, "Something sounds familiar."

As he spoke, he took out a book, flipped through it a few times, and said, "I found it, the peak master of Jiguo's Golden Tempering Peak, a high-ranking official with no real power."

Jiguo, inherited from Donghai Sect, like Xuelianguo, has many elders and inheritances in the country. Now they are the peak masters of each peak, each holding power.

Lu Tong picked up the booklet.

On the list are officials from Jiguo, and each peak leader has a responsibility in charge, but there is an empty line after Wu Chudao's name.

"There is something extraordinary about this person in persuading Feiguan to rebel and winning over Shelu."

"I ordered people to check."

"No rush."

Lu Tong immediately stopped him and said, "Don't move. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. If you move, you will be exposed. Leave this matter to me."

"Okay, what about Fei Guan?"

"Lock him up and hand him over to Yun Ao's custody. Don't spread the word about this matter. We will deal with it after the matter is settled."

……

Shuishi City.

Lu Tong called Zhang Qiao, carefully explained what happened, and said, "What do you think, Master Zhang?"

One person is short of wit.

I used to discuss with Dian Si'er and Mrs. Jiu. After the founding of the country, none of the three were good at this, and they gradually replaced them with Ju Shu, Liu Jixin and others.

Now that Zhang Qiao is here, there is a better choice.

Zhang Qiao pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Chudao should be dedicated to collecting information and spying on intelligence."

After speaking, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Tong, and continued: "Xiang Huan has been in the country for more than 20 years. If nothing unexpected happens, Liangyao Zhengguo and Jiguo are well aware of everything. And... and there are extremely Maybe, someone secretly took refuge in Jiguo."

Lu Tong clenched his fist.

Xiang Huan's cultivation is very weak and he has never taken it seriously. He didn't expect that he had done so many tricks in secret.

And Jiguo’s plan is so far-reaching.

As early as decades ago, when he was at war with the young fox, he had already begun to lay out the Kingdom of Shu, the Kingdom of Good Demons, and the Kingdom of Good Demons.

He once again realized the gap between the good demon Zhengguo and the great country.

"What should we do?"

Zhang Qiao used his magic power to gather dozens of springs, from which water gushed out. Dozens of small rivers flowed, branched, and intersected, forming a water network between the two of them.

“This is the place where my lifelong knowledge lies, ‘All things are like water’. I originally planned to present it to the King of the Kingdom after the Water Chamber City incident, but now that the opportunity has arrived, I would like to invite the King of the Kingdom to take a look.”

"Please."

Lu Tong immediately straightened his expression.

Zhang Qiao said: "Money is like water, running through all things and cannot be restrained. Water is born from springs and likes tranquility, but it cannot die. Money is born from people, it likes tranquility, and tranquility cannot be forbidden."

Lu Tong blinked, half understanding.

Zhang Qiao said: "This is the biggest drawback of the Good Demon Zhengguo. The Good Demon Chamber of Commerce swallows up hundreds of rivers, and one river dominates, causing hundreds of rivers to stop flowing."

The water network between the two changes.

A small river swallowed up all the water and turned into a big river. The other small rivers dried up one after another.

Although the river is turbulent, the area covered by the water network has been greatly reduced, less than half of the previous one, and the springs have gradually weakened.

Lu Tong remained silent.

Zhang Qiao said: "People are like water. Water is changeable. It can be a gurgling clear spring or a flying spring. People are also changeable. They can be as docile as a sheep or as ferocious as a tiger. Water has various forms, and the people of the country should also do the same. That’s it.”

The water network changes again.

First they all boil and turn into clouds and mist, and then they converge into a raging water wave. Finally, the water waves separate and turn into rivers, water vapor, rain, etc., and the cycle repeats again and again.

Lu Tongtong: "There are countless Dharma doors in the country. Although there are not all kinds of forms, there are also various forms."

Zhang Qiao shook his head and said: "The good demon Zhengguo only respects force. Although it seems to have various forms, it is actually all one kind - seeking strength."

"Surrounded by powerful enemies, we have to do this."

"I understand that the king's painstaking efforts are easy to break, and this trend cannot last forever. Only when all industries prosper together can we have the opportunity to become a great country."

Lu Tongtong: "This country is also a big country."

In this country, all the people are soldiers, and no country is more upright than it.

Zhang Qiao said: "So our country must perish."

Lu Tong thought for a moment and said, "What else?"

"A country is like water, water flows from top to bottom, and we work together, so nothing can stop it, and the country should be like this. The third major drawback of the good and evil country is that there are hundreds of mountains, each with their own interests, and it is difficult to gather all their strength. ”

"No one dares to disobey my orders."

"By the time the king of the country personally gives the order, it is already too late. There is no need to give orders when there is true unity from top to bottom. Everyone knows how to do it."

Lu Tong was shocked, thought about it over and over, and said: "What should the good demon and the country do?"

Zhang Qiao took out a book and handed it over:

"Converge national business and encourage private business. In the future, the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce can act as a pioneer, only doing the most difficult and difficult business, rather than seeking profits."

"Expand the Dharma widely, and all industries will prosper together. Agriculture, forestry, fishing, commerce, elixirs, Dharma, weapons, formations, everything that can be taught, teach it all."

"Hundred Mountains is a critical matter, we can only do it slowly, not fast."

Lu Tong took the book, flipped through it, and said, "Why are you so slow?"

"Peach instead of plum."

"What?"

Lu Tong looked at Zhang Qiao.

Zhang Qiao said: "I heard that the king spread the method widely in the Zang Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom. Why not implement this method in the Liangyao Zheng Kingdom?"

Lu Tong smiled helplessly.

When the Liang Yao Zhengguo was first established, he was busy and worried about everything all day long, and could not take care of such "little things".

"The timing is not right."

"Now the time has come. With the help of spreading the Dharma widely, pass down the practice method together, and then set up a martial arts tower. If Baishan wants to recruit new people in the future, they must be allocated by the martial arts tower and are not allowed to recruit without authorization. Newcomers are favored by the country. , instead of being favored by the mountain master, when they replace the old people, it will be the time when the good demon and the righteous country will unite as one."

"There have been heavy casualties in various mountains in recent years, so this order should not be implemented."

"My lord, this is where the opportunity lies. With both rewards and punishments, the mountain lords have made great contributions and should be given elixirs to help them improve their practice. When they are in retreat, it is a good opportunity to take action."

Lu Tongtong shrank and suddenly realized the gap between himself and Zhang Qiao.

He has a very clear line between treating his own people and his enemies.

The water is invisible and merciless. In Zhang Qiao's eyes, his own people are also enemies.

Lu Tong lowered his head and thought.

Zhang Qiao waited for a while and continued: "Master, Wu Chudao has figured out us, and we must change as soon as possible."

"Set up the Shuishi City as soon as possible and return to the Prisoner's Palace to take care of this matter."

"Yes."

……

Bowang City.

Liangyao Tower.

"Meet the King!"

Two female cultivators in red clothes wearing red phoenix feathers were guarding the door.

"Where is your palace master?"

"I just came back and am resting in the bedroom."

Lu Tong entered the building and walked all the way outside the bedroom.

Two Feng Yu female cultivators were also guarding the door, and one of them sent a message: "Your Majesty, please stay."

Lu Tong's expression paused.

The female cultivator Feng Yu stopped in front of her and said through a message: "The master of the palace has just gone to bed. If the master of the kingdom has something important to do, please allow me to enter the communication."

"No, when the palace master wakes up, ask her to come to the attic to meet me."

"Yes."

On the top of the building, Lu Tong sat alone directly above, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside.

Time passes quietly.

At dusk, the sea of ​​clouds outside was dyed with a golden-red glow.

Dian Si'er hurriedly entered the attic and said, "Master, why are you here? Why don't you let someone send a message?"

"It's not a big deal."

Lu Tong made a move.

Dian Si'er hadn't washed up yet, and her clothes were a little messy, so she went over and sat next to her.

The two looked at the sunset together.

Dian Si'er suddenly asked: "What happened?"

Lu Tong was silent for a moment and said, "It's time to stop."

Dian Si'er was stunned for a moment and guessed what Lu was referring to in the call, but still asked: "Why stop?"

"Hey."

Lu Tong sighed, took Dian Si'er in his arms, and began to recount what Zhang Qiao had said.

Dian Si'er has been listening quietly.

After Lu Tong finished speaking, he said: "The situation has changed. Now there is a boundless Jieshui Lake in the north, with countless wealth in it. Only by leaving the matter to others and relying on the power of the people can we have the opportunity to reach far away. ”

"Yeah."

Dian Si'er responded for a moment and said in a harsh voice: "When?"

"It should be soon."

"Then I will hand over the palace master to Qin Zong. He has been revising the trade laws, which is consistent with Zhang Qiao's strategy."

"Yeah."

Lu Tong felt a little depressed.

Some things will hurt others, but they have to be done. ~IndoMTL.com~ He rubbed Dian Si'er's shoulder, smiled, and changed the subject: "Do you know who Xianghuan belongs to?"

"Who else could it be but the master?"

"Wu Chudao, a peak master in Jiguo..."

……

"You want to be an official?"

In Yuanxiang Mountain, in a bedroom, Lu Tong looked up at Xiang Huan.

Xiang Huan hung in mid-air and said: "The Lord of the Kingdom has read the "Record of Cure Diseases" I wrote. Is there any falsehood in it?"

"No."

Lu Tong smiled.

There are no falsehoods or new ideas in "The Record of Eliminating Diseases". What is written is what Liu Jixin and others have said long ago. I don't know where Xiang Huan heard a few words from.

After returning that day, he made an excuse. Shuguo was unwilling to let him go. Instead, he banned Feiguan and dismissed Xianghuan casually.

Xiang Huan slowly fell down, the tips of their noses almost touching each other.

"Then why can others do it but I can't."

"Because of me, you don't have to work hard. As soon as you open your mouth, everything will be there...oh..."

After a breath, Xianghuan retracted his tongue.

Lu Tong licked his lips and said with a smile: "What kind of official do you want to be?"

"Anything goes."

Lu Tong frowned and thought.

Xiang Huan loosened the belt and slowly fell down. He rested his head on Lu Tong and whispered: "It can't be too small. If it's too small, people will look down upon it. It can't be too big. If it's too big, it won't work well. , but it will harm the country’s leader.”

"How about being a warrior?"

"What kind of official is this?"

"The official assigned to you is in charge of fire and magic weapons. This is the most leisurely and profitable official."

"I will do whatever the king asks me to do."

"Okay."

Early the next morning.

Lu Tong entered the Purple Air Palace and immediately ordered: "Little Blue Bird, go and walk forward, and tell him to come carefully."

"Yes."
