With his left hand, he reached back into his sleeve and took out three relics that glowed gold and red and played with them.
These were all the relics that Qing Yu had left on his body now, and the remaining ones had been placed in the secret stronghold of the Blood Cloth House halfway through.
Carrying more than forty relics was not easy to handle.
The Buddhist power triggered by the gathering of so many relics alone could attract many people from the Buddhist sect to come and explore.
Three of them were just right, and Qing Yu was able to use his true qi to directly cover up their fluctuations.
Qing Yu once again enveloped his left hand into his sleeve and rubbed his right hand against his face for a moment. When he lowered his hand again, it was already a cold, emotionless face.
With the simple but not dignified dark purple daoist robe that Qing Yu was wearing and the daoist hairpin in his hair, a freshly baked Taishang Daoist son had made his appearance.
When the white phoenix saw that his master had changed completely, he was so frightened that he suddenly jumped backwards a long way, his very spiritual eyes carrying complete horror.
Recently, the white phoenix’s intelligence had improved a lot, if it were before, it would not have been able to make such a spiritual move.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
Qing Yu used the power of his mind to calm down the white phoenix’s somewhat frightened little heart and transmitted a thought to it, “Go, leave Jeju and go back to Northern Zhou first.”
Now, Jeju was very dangerous, even if the white phoenix could fly, he might not be able to be safe.
As for Qing Yu, now he no longer needed to run away with the help of the white phoenix. For those who could make Qing Yu run away, it would be useless even if they sat on a white phoenix that could fly.
The white phoenix gently rubbed Qing Yu’s head and let out a low chirp as it raised its wings and flew away.
“Well, it’s time for me to go to Kaiyang City and find a place to stay.”
Although he occupied the identity of Tai Shang Daozi, Qing Yu did not intend to run straight to Tai Zhen Palace to reveal his identity. In the end, he had mainly come over this time to see if there was a chance to muddle through, and it wouldn’t do to be too high-profile.
Besides, it wasn’t quite safe to rush to identify oneself.
“Um… cough ——” Qing Yu cleared his throat and his words turned into Xuan Du’s voice, “Poor Daoist Mountain Wilderness Scatterer Xuan Du, I salute you.”
Keep a low profile, until his identity was recognized, he would just be Xuan Du, the mountain wilderness daoist.
————————
Inside Kaiyang City, in the branch of Department Six.
Qin Xihai, who was dressed in a black power suit and looked very valiant, held an invitation and entered to Ning Wuming, who was resting his eyes, “Brother Ning, King Renyi sent someone to send an invitation.”
“King Renyi?” Ning Wuming opened his eyes.
This was an action he would take only when he was serious about something; normally, as a blind man, Ning Wuming kept his eyes closed.
The King of Renyi, and a king with a foreign surname at that. Apart from King Zhenshan, who had already defected from the kingdom, King Renyi was the only king of the Great Qian with a foreign surname.
More importantly, the throne of King Renyi was hereditary.
In some ways, this makes King Renyi no different from the royal princes.
King Renyi’s surname was Feng, the phoenix. But he was not the phoenix of the Northern Zhou, but the phoenix of the former Great Zhou Dynasty.
The current Northern Zhou royal family is in fact the bloodline of the original Great Zhou princes. King Renyi, on the other hand, was the direct lineage of the Emperor of the Great Week.
After the Great Qian Tai Zu usurped the throne and became emperor, he did not exterminate all of the lineage of the Great Weekend Emperor. He left behind a three-year-old boy to carry on the bloodline of the last emperor, even those who were hopeless and those who were bent on revenge.
At that time, the three-year-old boy was named Marquis of Peace and Happiness, meaning a lifetime of peace and happiness, and not to think about what was wrong.
His descendants were kept under constant vigilance by the court, and at best they were kept in good health, not even allowed to practise martial arts.
But in the current generation of the Marquis of An Le, there was an accident that no one had expected.
The previous Qian Emperor, the one whom Ning Wuming and others called the late Emperor, came to inspect Jeju on behalf of his father when he was an imperial son.
At that time, all the officials of Jeju were present, and the previous generation of Marquis of An Le and his father were naturally present.
It was on that day that the fate of the Marquis of Anle’s line changed.
When an a*sa*sin attacked and killed the prince, the Marquis of Anle’s father and son tried to save the prince’s life, and his father was killed and his son was seriously injured.
What happened after that is too complicated to explain. In the end, the son of the previous Marquis of Anle, the current generation of Marquis of Anle, Feng Yuan, who survived, was granted a ban on practising martial arts by the royal family because he had to practise martial arts to resolve his injuries on his own.
However, Feng Yuan was the only one who could practise martial arts; his sons and grandsons were still not allowed to know a single martial art.
As for how Feng Yuan became the King of Renyi from the Marquis of Anle, it is actually quite simple to say.
The merit of following the dragon.
Feng Yuan was allowed to practise martial arts and live because of the mercy of the late Emperor Qian, and he returned the favour by helping the late Emperor in secret.
When the late Qian Huang was taking over the throne, Feng Yuan was behind every step he took.
For this reason, when the late Emperor ascended to the throne, he was so impressed by his benevolence that he was crowned “King of Benevolence”.
However, the previous Emperor did not realise that his ennoblement would leave a lot of hidden dangers for future generations.
“According to the investigation conducted by the undercover agents, King Renyi seems to have stayed out of politics, but in fact he has close ties with various forces in Jeju. In particular, the Murong family, the head of the Jeju family, has a close friendship with King Renyi.
However, this person has been the only one who has overstepped the line for many years, and has always been honest, seemingly no different from the Marquis of Anle in all generations except for his strong martial arts skills.” Ning Wuming took the invitation and said.
“The previous emperor really left a lot of messes behind, first the Shadow King and then the Renyi King ——,” Qin Xihai said somewhat breathlessly.
The Shadow King won’t bother mentioning his hazards, as long as he is given the opportunity, he certainly wouldn’t mind taking a seat on the dragon chair. After all, King Renyi is a former dynasty bloodline, and his identity is ultimately an unstable factor.
Who knows if Renyi Wang Feng Yuan will one day want to take back his rightful place and raise his flag to rebel.
At least, with all the chaos in Jeju today, Department Six has to wonder if someone is secretly pushing the envelope. And as for the choice of this person, Department Six first turned its attention to the benevolent King Feng Yuan.
“Be careful what you say!” Ning Wuming immediately shouted in a low voice.
“Xi Hai, your status is extraordinary, but also because of this, your every word and action may cause mischief. The late emperor was right or wrong, it is not your turn or mine to comment, you should be careful with your words and actions!” Ning Wuming admonished in a serious tone.
“Understood, Brother Ning.”
Qin Xihai was not a young child who did not understand world affairs, she was also a veteran constable for many years, and although she had the convenience of her status, she had also become a divine constable on the basis of her real talent.
The previous slip of the tongue was also because Ning Wuming was not an outsider.
“Then, Brother Ning, will you go to King Renyi’s invitation?”
“Go, naturally,” Ning Wuming said, patting the invitation, “Since I suspect King Renyi, I can’t let go of any opportunity to pry into the situation.”
