Fang Xun laughed when he saw the contents of the note, but Dongfang Que was stunned.
"What does he mean?"
"How would I know? Maybe he wants to lure me out alone and kill me, or he has other intentions."
Fang Xun said with a smile.
"I was planning to expose him right away, but now, I have to go to the appointment at midnight tonight to see what he wants to do. It would be even better if I could catch a few big fish."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the door, and Dongfang Que and Bai Qingmeng immediately followed him.
Fang Xun was not worried about his own safety at all. With Bai Qingmeng, the beautiful girl, by his side, he felt really safe.
Soon they arrived outside the guest house where the poisoned people were staying, and they heard the conversation between An Huiquan and Qiao Zhengyang from afar.
"Master Qiao, the antidote has been prepared. After taking the medicine, you will be able to recover after resting for a day. I also have some ideas about the person who poisoned you.
The method of preparing the poison feels familiar to me. I must have seen it in some book at home. I will go home and look it up in detail."
"Well, this is a matter of great importance. I'm sorry for the inadequacy of my hospitality, Doctor An."
As the two people in the yard were talking, they walked out of the yard and happened to meet Fang Xun and the other two. A hint of just the right amount of surprise appeared on his face.
"The miracle doctor is leaving now. Is it so urgent?"
"This is a matter of great importance. We have to be urgent. The sooner we can eliminate the mastermind behind this, the sooner we can all feel at ease."
An Huiquan's face looked normal, as if nothing had happened when she passed by Fang Xun Guest House just now.
"In that case, please be careful along the way, Doctor."
Fang Xun, Qiao Zhengyang and others accompanied them all the way until they sent An Huiquan out of Xiayi Town.
Looking at the figure of the other party gradually going away, Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't feel anything before the spiritual power revived. Now that the spiritual power has revived, all kinds of monsters and demons have jumped out."
Qiao Zhengyang also watched An Huiquan's back, and after hearing Fang Xun's words, he also sighed.
"Mr. Lin Chuan is walking in the martial arts world, so he probably doesn't know that in the past two years, there are more and more innate masters in the martial arts world, and the fighting in various places is becoming more and more intense."
The revival of spiritual energy is not only a carnival for the powerful people at the top of the pyramid, but the warriors at the bottom also enjoy great benefits.
Before the spiritual inspiration is revived, it is still difficult to break through and gain enlightenment.
But now, as long as one's aptitude is not hopelessly bad and there is sufficient supply of skills and resources, even if one piles up resources, one can eventually become enlightened.
All of a sudden, the competition for resources at the innate level in the martial arts world became fiercer.
In the past, I knew that there was no hope for me to break through and I had no intention of doing so. But now, countless low-level warriors have seen the light and of course they will not give up the opportunity to break through.
Lone wanderers fight for resources, and the competition between small sects and forces is even more intense.
As far as Fang Xun knew, the six gates of the various prefectures in Wuzhou had been aggressively recruiting new blood, and the threshold had been lowered again and again, and now as long as one had no criminal record, even acquired martial artists with a bad reputation would be accepted, making the admission mixed.
Doing so was a helpless move, as there was a shortage of manpower. Not only the Six Gates, but other violent agencies such as the prefectural army and state army were also expanding their recruitment.
On the contrary, the structure among the middle and upper-level forces where there is at least one Yin Shen master in charge is relatively stable. These Yin Shen masters are the overlords of one side and each has his own territory, and generally they will not rashly cross the line.
But this is only temporary. When more and more Yin Shen masters appear among the warriors of small forces in the future, they will eventually challenge those old forces.
By then, disputes and fighting at the Yin God level will become more and more frequent.
Only forces of the level of the Thirty-Six Sects and the Prince of Yue's Mansion can sit back and watch the changing situation. No matter how fierce the fight is between the middle and lower levels, they dare not damage the interests of these big forces.
Shaking his head, Fang Xun said with a smile.
"Master Qiao is busy with his work, so don't worry about me. I just happened to be free, so I'll just walk around the town. I've long admired your 'Chivalrous Daughter's Red Wine' for a long time. I couldn't get in line before, but now everyone has come to Sanshui Tower to watch the fun, so there should be a lot of empty seats."
When Qiao Zhengyang heard that Fang Xun also had to queue up, he immediately turned around and scolded Qiao Qingquan.
"What's wrong with you? As a marquis, you have to queue up to drink in Xiayi Town. If people know about this, they will laugh at us for not treating us well. Why don't you prepare a few jars of 'Daughter's Red Wine' for Marquis Lin Chuan!"
Qiao Qingquan, who was standing by, was startled for a moment, and after apologizing, he immediately turned around and was about to make arrangements for Fang Xun.
Fang Xun quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Qiao. You two have misunderstood. I usually like to sit in a restaurant, order a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and listen to gossips. That's what I call fun."
Qiao Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then he thought this guy was quite interesting and immediately smiled.
"My Lord, I don't want to disturb you because I'm busy with town affairs. I won't accompany you any longer. If I have time, I would like to go to a small restaurant and order a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts like you do."
After saying goodbye with a smile, Qiao Zhengyang took Qiao Qingquan and continued to work.
Fang Xun and the other two restrained their energy and slowly strolled around the town, gradually heading towards the tavern they had been to before, ready to order a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts and have a few drinks.
On this day, there were too many things in Xiayi Town that needed to be dealt with by Qiao Zhengyang and his son.
When the various martial arts people in the town heard that someone was so bold as to poison the leaders of twenty-one major martial arts sects, they were immediately furious.
But not long after, we were relieved to hear that the murderer had been caught, but everyone in the streets was still talking about it.
Night fell slowly only after the storm had subsided a little.
At midnight the wind is not strong and the moon is not dark.
Seven miles southwest of Xiayi Town, there is a willow forest with drooping willow branches, swaying slightly in the hot summer night breeze.
Fang Xun leaned against the big willow tree in the middle and waited, while Bai Qingmeng stood quietly beside him, his eyes still wandering.
Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to come to the appointment alone.
Otherwise, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. If An Huiquan gathered seven or eight great masters of Yangshen to attack together, even someone as strong as Fang Xun would have to flee in fear.
With this beautiful girl by his side, Fang Xun's sense of security was raised to the highest level.
A quarter of an hour later, it was exactly midnight, and the person he was waiting for arrived.
The man with the square hat, long gown and white hair and beard is none other than Anhuiquan, the 'Wonderful Hand of Bodhi'.
However, the usual kind look was gone from the face of this miracle doctor. Instead, he looked haggard, with a bitter look on his lips, and his back was unconsciously hunched, as if he was about to die.
Fang Xun's eyes lit up with curiosity when he saw this: "Doctor An, what happened to you? Could it be that you were also poisoned by the strange poison you researched?"
After hearing this, An Huiquan's face became even more bitter.
As soon as Fang Xun opened his mouth, he almost said that he was the one who prepared the poison.
As for Bai Qingmeng beside the other person, he was no longer in the mood to care about the fact that the other person had brought one more person to the appointment.
"It seems that Lord Lin Chuan already knew about it. I have to thank Lord Lin Chuan for not exposing me directly during the day and saving my face." Fang Xun said calmly, "You will lose this face eventually. It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"Yes, sooner or later, you will be ruined anyway, so what difference does it make?"
An Huiquan sighed deeply.
"I am not afraid of death, but I still have concerns. Since Marquis Lin Chuan knows everything, I will not waste any more words while I have the last bit of time."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
"The mastermind behind this used the poison on this recipe to control many Yin Shen masters. I prepared all of them myself. What happened today was just an opportunity to make those 19 Yin Shen masters take the poison. Their lives and deaths are controlled by the mastermind behind this."
After Fang Xun took the prescription, his brows furrowed.
An Huiquan's attitude made him feel that everything the other party did was not his own intention, but was forced by the mastermind behind the scenes.
But it is understandable that those Yin Shen masters were forced into doing things against their will.
But Anhui is a great master of Yangshen. Not only that, he is also a lay disciple of the Great Zen Temple!
No matter how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes is, can he be more powerful than the Dachan Temple?
Fang Xun frowned and looked at him and said, "Doctor An, you looked fine during the day, but in less than a day, you have become like this. Are you..."
But at this moment, Bai Qingmeng suddenly interrupted him.
"Fang Xun is dying, but no one hurt him. He was just burned by anger. If you have any questions, ask as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!"
With a bang, a burst of golden flames burst out from An Hui's body, burning his body.
Fang Xun's pupils shrank suddenly: "The Buddha's heart is burning with fire?"
Before passing away, all great Buddhist monks in this world would burn their bodies with fire in their hearts, forging them into a relic containing all their insights to pass on to future generations.
Before meeting An Huiquan, Fang Xun had thought of many possibilities.
It could be that the other party brought people to surround and kill him, it could be that the other party wanted to deliberately deceive and mislead him, or it could be that An Huiquan was actually forced by the mastermind behind the scenes and wanted to ask for help from him.
But what he didn't expect was that An Huiquan would commit suicide after seeing him!
Fang Xun took a deep breath and asked directly without further ado, "Who founded the Wuchang organization?"
In the flames, An Huiquan's bitter face was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't expect that the Marquis knew this. It seems that I have nothing to say. The remaining answers still need to be found by the Marquis himself."
After saying this, An Huiquan's body seemed to be burned transparent by the golden flames, like a bubble, and it seemed that it would disappear at any time.
However, this behavior of turning into a riddle man at the critical moment made Fang Xun's face turn cold.
"This matter is no longer just your grudge, but it concerns the stability of Jiangnan martial arts and the livelihoods of countless people. Are you really not going to tell me?"
An Huiquan's expression gradually calmed down: "My Lord, there is no need to force me. This is all my fault. I am willing to bear all the consequences!"
Fang Xun took a deep breath and said calmly.
"What a courage, one person can take it all?
Very good, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me, you still have parents, brothers and sisters, and apprentices, I can ask them, if they don't know, then you can all die!"
Fang Xun wanted to kill the whole family if they disagreed with him, and he was in no mood to play guessing games with others.
An Huiquan's face changed suddenly, but he calmed down immediately.
“All the mistakes are my fault. I never thought that my childhood mischief would lead to the bitter consequences of today, causing a bloody storm in the Jiangnan martial arts world.
I believe that the Marquis is not such a person, so please pass my relic to my ignorant disciple."
At this time, Fang Xun smiled instead, and this smile made An Huiquan feel creepy.
"Hehe, you think I'm a good person?
I said I would kill your entire family, and I must kill your entire family. In three days at most, your entire family will go down to accompany you!
Who the hell does Wuchang think he is? How dare he play mysterious tricks on me?
Is there something you don't want to tell?
Then there is no need to say anything, let me check it myself! "
"Master Hou, I."
An Huiquan's expression finally changed completely. The corners of her mouth trembled as she struggled and wanted to say something, but it was too late.
In the last moment before the figure disappeared, An Huiquan's expression was frozen in endless pain and despair.
There was only one golden relic left in the air, which began to fall downwards and was immediately caught by a slender hand.
Fang Xun looked at the relic and sighed, "Ah Qing, tell me, are good people born to be pointed at with guns?
An Huiquan thought I was a good person, so I asked him who the leader of Wuchang was, and his refusal was justified.
Then he confidently asked me to hand over this relic, which would cause countless people in the world to scramble for it, to his apprentice.
But if it were a completely cold-blooded demon, would he still be so confident? "
Bai Qingmeng, who was standing aside, had a rare look of confusion in his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he finally said, "Is it true that good people in this world don't get rewarded?"
Fang Xun sighed again: "Don't ask me, I don't know either, but I do understand one thing: those who carry firewood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow!"
Bai Qingmeng looked thoughtful after hearing this and said, "Huainanzi: Human World also said: When young, one is greedy for strength, and when old, one abandons the body. A benevolent person will not do such things."
After hearing this, Fang Xun looked at the girl in front of him and smiled happily. He smiled very happily, as if he had encountered something that made him particularly happy.
"But Ah Qing, in this world, there are far more people who are ruthless, heartless, and throw away the donkey after it has done its job than good people."
At this time, Bai Qingmeng found the past experiences of Ah Qing and the White Lotus Mother in his huge memory bank. His eyes became blank and ripples appeared in his heart.
After a long while, she regained her composure and asked, "Fang Xun, are you really going to kill his entire family?"
Fang Xun sneered and said, "If I say kill his whole family, then kill his whole family!
Ah Qing, you say, this guy who caused so many innocent people to lose their lives just for his own unknown difficulties, shouldn't his entire family be killed?"
Bai Qingmeng was silent for a while before answering, "I don't know, but now the clues are broken again. How are you going to track it down next?"
Fang Xun calmed down at this time and shook his head.
"No, the clues are not broken. An Huiquan has just told us."
Bai Qingmeng thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "He just said: The mischief in youth has led to the bitter consequences today.
An Huiquan’s childhood experiences are no secret.”
She looked at the relic in Fang Xun's hand for a long time before she uttered three more words.
"Da Zen Temple." (End of this chapter)
