Chapter 455: Spying from the Zhongdu Royal City
Hongwu? !
Liu Shanji was upset when he heard this, but on the surface he said calmly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, I don't know where General Xiaohong is going."
In his opinion, this young man was able to hide the power of the national seal and the city defense formation, and entered the Qingshui Pass city silently. His cultivation must have reached the pinnacle, a level that he could hardly understand. It is definitely no problem to call him a senior.
"Really?" Cui Heng smiled indifferently when he heard this, and did not explain much. Instead, he raised his right hand and stretched out a finger, gently shook it, and a very faint light suddenly lit up on the fingertip.
"What, what is this?!" Liu Shanji's pupils shrank immediately after seeing this tiny light, revealing an extremely horrified expression. He could no longer remain calm and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
The light that just lit up from Cui Heng's fingertips was not strong, but it had an extremely clear aura of magic power.
This directly made Liu Shanji's martial arts power with a hint of
magic power in his body respond. After all, he showed pure magic power, which was like the root of the magic power in his martial arts power.
"I am his uncle, right?" Cui Heng smiled.
His current identity is Cui Qing, not Cui Heng, so naturally he would not say that he is Hong Fugui's master or teacher.
"You, you, you are General Hong's uncle?!" Liu Shanji's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and then he frowned and asked in confusion, "But General Hong never said that he had an uncle."
Although the magic power displayed by Cui Heng had already made the martial arts power in his body resonate, he did not believe it.
In the past two hundred years, many people came to Qingshui Pass to look for Hongwu, including many true immortals, but Liu Shanji never revealed a single detail, nor did he reveal the slightest flaw.
Even if he already believed Cui Heng in his heart, he would not reveal any news about Hongwu before he was completely sure.
"Did he tell you about Datong?" Cui Heng smiled. He was quite satisfied with Liu Shanji's reaction. He was so cautious and calm. Hong Fugui had a good eye for people.
"Datong..." Liu Shanji was completely shocked this time, and he also believed Cui Heng completely. He bowed and said respectfully, "Liu Shanji greets the senior.
" "General Hong once told me about the theory of Datong Collection, saying that it was an extremely unfulfilled ambition, a route that only his teacher could summarize, and it was extremely difficult to turn it into reality, especially in a world with many immortals and gods.
"He can only hide this theory deep in his heart, and wait until he has enough power and has accumulated enough foundation, and then he will follow the route described in it."
"Such understanding is already very profound." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled.
"Senior, I have something to ask you. You just said that you are General Hong's uncle..." Liu Shanji asked, "General Hong once said that the foundation of his life's learning and life pursuit all came from an immortal named Cui. Are you the junior brother of that immortal?"
"He even told you this? Yes, his teacher is my senior brother." Cui Heng smiled and nodded.
With Hong Fugui's personality, he probably wouldn't talk about this topic unless it was someone he trusted.
However, Liu Shanji's martial arts inheritance all came from Hong Fugui's teachings. Hong Fugui also taught him the "Datong Collection". The relationship between the two must be extraordinary, almost like a master and apprentice. It is not surprising to talk about this.
"Then do you know the whereabouts of General Hong?" Liu Shanji hurriedly asked, "General Hong once said that his greatest wish in this life is to see the immortal Cui again."
"So I came to find him." Cui Heng smiled.
"..." Liu Shanji was stunned when he heard this, and then he bowed and said, "Please forgive me, senior. I didn't know your identity before, so I concealed the news about General Hong."
"It doesn't matter." Cui Heng waved his hand lightly and smiled. "You did this for him, so it's not wrong. You can tell me about him now, right?"
"Yes, of course." Liu Shanji nodded hurriedly, and then said, "Please take a seat first. I do know something about General Yu Hong's whereabouts..."
"Yes." Cui Heng nodded lightly, sat down on a chair next to him, and listened quietly to Liu Shanji's narration.
According to Liu Shanji's description, the reason why Hong Fugui left Qingshui Pass was mainly because he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation.
Because the martial arts he practiced was improved by himself, the way to break through the realm was somewhat special. He had to travel to various places to have the opportunity to step into the sixth realm of the real world.
Of course, there was also the reason of not wanting to attract too much attention.
After all, in the battle to defend the city, he defeated the seventh realm of the real world with the cultivation of the fifth realm of the real world. The result was too bizarre.
Even with the power of the national seal and the city defense formation, such an achievement is still unbelievable.
People naturally have associations.
This person must have a big secret, or some special and powerful treasure.
If you continue to stay in Qingshui Pass, it will inevitably cause countless troubles.
It is better to leave directly.
However, before leaving, Hong Fugui told Liu Shanji about three places.
They are the places he planned to go next.
They are the capital of Liang State, Taichang County of Lu State, and Zhongdu Royal City.
The reason why he told Liu Shanji about these three places was that he hoped that Liu Shanji would go to these three places to look for him after he broke through to the fourth realm of the real world and left Qingshui Pass.
Hong Fugui was obviously more optimistic about Liu Shanji. Although they were not in the name of master and apprentice, he actually had the feeling of training him as a successor.
In addition, Cui Heng also tasted something unusual in Hong Fugui's arrangements.
It seemed a bit like he was explaining his last wishes.
"Could it be that Fugui chose to leave Qingshui Pass not just for the purpose of cultivation and avoiding trouble, but for other reasons?"
Cui Heng frowned slightly, thinking, "If it is true... then the things he left in these three places should be unusual, and probably have extraordinary significance."
Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Shanji and asked, "Does Hongwu have any enemies or foes here?"
"Enemy? Enemy?" Liu Shanji thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If it is the Liang State, there should be many people who hope that General Hong will die.
"As for Wu and other countries, I haven't heard that General Hong has any enemies. The general has always been kind to others, so he shouldn't have any enemies."
"Yeah." Cui Heng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
It can be seen that although Liu Shanji knew where Hong Fugui was going next, he was not clear about Hong Fugui's real purpose, and it would be difficult to get any results
if he continued to ask. It would be better to go to those three places directly to investigate the situation.
The first stop is to go to the capital of Liang.
It's a good opportunity to have a chat with the king of Liang.
Explore what is so special about the land in this world that can make these powerful countries fight each other for the ownership of the land, and even launch a war to destroy the country.
Afterwards, Cui Heng nodded to Liu Shanji and smiled, "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew into the sky, flying directly out of the city of Qingshui Pass. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
"It actually flew directly in." Liu Shanji looked at the sky. Although he had already guessed this before, he was still inexplicably shocked when he really saw it.
What a powerful realm this is, it can completely ignore the power of the national seal and the city defense formation, as if these most core defense forces of the various countries do not exist at all.
"I hope General Hong can be safe." Liu Shanji said in his heart.
...
Cui Heng really wants to find Hong Fugui this time, and doesn't want to miss him inexplicably and strangely again.
Therefore, since he had already known where Hong Fugui went after leaving Qingshui Pass, he did not stop and rushed directly to the capital of Liang State.
Although two hundred years had passed, Hong Fugui might not still be here, but there would most likely be some traces left.
This was a clue for Cui Heng.
When he was heading to the capital of Liang State, he suddenly felt that his false self had become more solid and his cultivation had improved.
The extent was very large.
Cui Heng knew that this was probably because the news of the battle at Dacheng Pass had spread.
The troops led by Chu Feixiao were badly defeated at Dacheng Pass, and he himself disappeared directly. More than 100,000 soldiers and many mixed-blood beasts were scattered!
At this time, such a result had also been spread to the capital of Liang State.
Naturally, all the places along the way have already known about this matter.
The unfamiliar name Cui Qing also appeared in front of countless people.
This person's identity, origin, inheritance, realm and other information have become the focus of many people's discussion.
Naturally, the authenticity of this false self's identity has been greatly enhanced.
In the palace in the center of the capital of Liang State, the king Jiang Ping looked at the military report on the table with a gloomy face, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
"Is this the battle you said you must win before?! It turned out like this?!" Jiang Ping suddenly roared, his eyes wide open, staring at the two people standing below.
"Cui Qing, this Cui Qing, where did this person come from, why is he so powerful, find out for me, I want all the information about him!"
The two men were silent, nodded repeatedly, and saluted to receive the order.
But in fact, when the information about the battle of Dacheng Pass was received in the capital of Liang State, Cui Heng had already arrived here.
He originally wanted to go directly to Liang State's monarch Jiang Ping, but as soon as he entered the city, he immediately felt an inexplicable force descending and spying on him from afar.
"Someone wants to monitor me. Who noticed me? The Human King?" Cui Heng frowned slightly.
However, he did not look up directly in the direction of the source of the power.
Instead, he quietly extended his consciousness and silently tracked the power.
Then -
they tracked down the location of the Human King, who was respected by all human beings.
Zhongdu Royal City!
