Chapter 655: Divine Mechanic
"Master Zhou, you are really a genius. I went to protect the eighth son of the King of Zhennan in advance as you said. As a result, when the afternoon came, his guards were indeed possessed by demons and became violent and killed anyone they saw. Fortunately, I acted in time and saved the eighth son of the King of Zhennan. At that time, it was really..."
Zhou Bai was talking incessantly, but was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "No need to say more, I have already seen these things from the future, no need to elaborate.ඏ♦ ♦♦"
Zhou Bai was slightly stunned, and inexplicably felt a sense of awe.
"Master Zhou is indeed a strange man. By the way, Master Zhou, the King of Zhennan wants to see you and express his gratitude in person."
"Let's go."
.........
.........
Zhennan Palace.
Fang Xiu and Zhou Bai were waiting in the reception room. After a while, a tall middle-aged man in a purple robe came over.
Zhou Bai quickly stood up and saluted: "Zhou Bai, your subordinate, greets the King of Zhennan."
"Hmm." The purple-clothed man hummed lightly, and then locked his eyes on Fang Xiu, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Because Fang Xiu was still sitting in his seat, it seemed that he had no intention of saluting.
This not only made the King of Zhennan frown slightly, but he did not get angry.
"Is this Master Zhou Qingfeng?"
"Yes." Fang Xiu said calmly.
"Master Zhou is very smart and revealed the secret in advance, saving my son's life. This king must reward him generously. Come on, bring up the gifts I prepared for Master Zhou."
Soon, boxes of natural treasures were delivered, and the whole palace was filled with various treasure lights.
But Fang Xiu didn't even take a look at them. Compared with the treasure house of the entire Xuyue Palace, these treasures are far inferior.
"It's just a small gift, please forgive Master Zhou." The King of Zhennan smiled.
"It's indeed a bit thin."
Zhennan Wang: "......."
His smile froze. He didn't expect Fang Xiu to not understand his polite words.
However, when he thought about the fact that he would have to rely on the other party's ability next, he had to suppress his displeasure.
"Master Zhou is quick-witted. I admire you......."
"I don't like to talk nonsense. Let's get straight to the point. You asked me to come here for more than a gift." Fang Xiu interrupted.
Since he knew that his wife was making trouble around him, he didn't want to waste any time.
For him, talking to a powerful person at the level of Immortal Emperor was a waste of time.
Zhennan Wang's face became a little gloomy. He didn't expect that Master Zhou was so arrogant and spoke so impolitely. He was just a real immortal. He dared to talk to him like this by relying on his ability to deduce the secrets of heaven. He simply didn't take his Immortal Emperor seriously!
Zhou Bai, who was standing aside, saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly sent a message to Zhennan Wang.
"Your Highness, don't get angry. People with ability are usually like this, and Master Zhou is like this, not good at socializing."
Then he told the story of Fang Xiu killing everyone on the second floor of the Heavenly Prison, and the pupils of the Zhennan King shrank when he heard it.
Killed everyone just because they were too noisy?
Is this person so violent?
For a moment, the Zhennan King suddenly didn't think Fang Xiu was rude, on the contrary, he felt that the other party was actually very respectful, at least he didn't kill anyone, right?
"Okay, since Master Zhou doesn't like nonsense, let's get straight to the point. I heard Zhou Bai say before, you calculated that there will be frequent incidents of going crazy in the future. Is this true?"
Fang Xiu nodded: "Yes."
"How frequent will it be?"
"In the next month, hundreds of cases."
"Hundreds of cases!?" The Zhennan King was shocked for a moment, obviously shocked by the number.
Hundreds of cases of monks going astray, although compared to the huge population base of Liuyun Xian Dynasty, it is not a lot, but the problem is that after a monk goes astray, he will not just die, but will kill people. If it is not handled properly, some small cities will even be massacred.
"Master Zhou, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is too sensational. Why did my Liuyun Xian Dynasty have hundreds of cases of going astray within a month?" Zhennan King said in a serious tone.
Fang Xiu did not answer, but asked: "What do you think is the reason why a large number of cultivators in a country suddenly go astray?"
"This king suspects that someone has secretly made a move, using the power of evil demons to pollute our cultivators, intending to cause unrest."
"Is the large-scale obsession also controlled by humans?"
"There are all kinds of things in the Nine Provinces. Although the means of causing others to go astray are rare, they are definitely not absent."
"Oh? Then who do you think can make a move in the palace under your nose? If he made a move in the house of an immortal emperor and no one noticed, then this person must be a demigod? If he is a demigod, then he needs to be so obscure to cause unrest?"
Fang Xiu's words made the King of Zhennan fall into deep thought.
"This is also what I can't figure out. What kind of force can have such ability?"
"Is there a possibility that there is no so-called enemy at all, but you have problems."
Zhennan King frowned: "Are you saying that those who have gone astray have a poor foundation and are practicing too hastily?"
Fang Xiu shook his head slightly. He found that this person had never thought that there was a problem with the visualized god. It was not that the other party was not smart enough, but that he subconsciously ruled out this option.
"Is there a possibility that there is a problem with the source of your practice? It has been polluted."
"The source of cultivation?" The King of Zhennan was stunned: "Yuntian God? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
His expression suddenly became excited, as if he had the feeling of a fanatic whose faith was tainted.
"Why is it impossible?" Fang Xiu said calmly.
"That's a god, Yuntian God. How could a god be polluted?"
"Why can't a god be polluted?"
The King of Zhennan was stunned. Fang Xiu's words made him feel terrified. He didn't dare to think that Yuntian God was polluted. This was equivalent to the collapse of his faith.
"If I say it's impossible, it's impossible! And the hundreds of cases of demonic possession you mentioned haven't happened yet. Maybe you calculated it wrong?"
Fang Xiu shook his head slightly and didn't intend to discuss this topic anymore. You can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep.
Then, he took out a list with nearly a hundred names of people and places written on it.
"This is the list of people who will go crazy in the next month. Time will tell whether I am wrong."
Zhennan Wang took the list and frowned more and more, because it was too detailed, including names, cultivation, and residence.
This made him secretly shocked. If everything on the list was true, then this Master Zhou had missed everything. He was not a master of heavenly secrets, but a master of divine secrets!
While Zhennan Wang was still shocked, Fang Xiu had already stood up and strode out: "Arrange a place for me to live. I will stay in the palace for this month."
Zhou Bai on the side was stunned. This Master Zhou was really arrogant. Did he think that the prince was an innkeeper?
This is the palace. You are shouting at the prince who is the fairy emperor in the palace. Do you want to die?
Zhennan Wang was also a little intolerable. In Liuyun Xian Dynasty, no one dared to be so rude to him except the current emperor.
But he couldn't get angry, because if the list was true, then the other party seemed to have the capital to be arrogant.
In this way, Fang Xiu settled down in the Zhennan Palace, and began a life of seclusion and concentration on cultivation.
The Zhennan King sent people to secretly observe the people on the list, and directly arrested some weak people without background for research.
He never believed that Yun Tianshen had a problem. He believed that there must be a force in the dark that had done something to these people.
So he arrested some weak people on the list and conducted a comprehensive inspection of them.
Half a month later.
In a secret detention place, the Zhennan King was sitting in it, and the whole person seemed to be petrified, staring at the list of people in his hand.
On the list of hundreds of names, nearly half had been crossed out at this time, and those who were crossed out were all people who had gone astray.
Suddenly, he spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
"Which one?"
A voice came from the darkness: "Your Highness, two more people have gone astray today, and now it's the fifty-eighth."
The King of Zhennan shuddered: "Fifty-eight? Nearly half of the names on the list have been crossed out. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that Zhou Qingfeng's predictions were so accurate. There is actually a master of divination in the world who can calculate so accurately!"
On the one hand, he was shocked by Fang Xiu's accuracy, and on the other hand, he was getting more and more terrified.
The matter that Fang Xiu said that Yun Tianshen was polluted was like a nightmare that took root in his heart, and it became deeper and deeper as time went by.
In the past half month, he captured dozens of people on the list, locked them up in a secret place and kept them under strict supervision. He personally examined the bodies of each of them to ensure that they had not been tampered with. Then he asked these people to practice normally every day, and the result was...
These people went astray one by one under his nose and became evil demons.
There was no tampering, but they went astray just by practicing normally. All kinds of evidence seemed to prove that Yun Tianshen was polluted.
"No, no matter what the source of the problem is, now is not the time to worry about it. The most urgent task is to deal with these people who have gone astray. However, the emperor is now in seclusion, so it seems that we can only discuss it with the princes, ministers and others first."
