Chapter 147 This group of favors is inappropriate
Qi Chengjing was silent for a moment, then reminded, "I heard that Your Majesty has many concubines."
Shen Zhi already knew this, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
"The most basic requirement for dual cultivation is to ensure sufficient Yuan Yang..."
Shen Zhi stopped drinking water. The little phoenix, who only knew that dual cultivation could break through talents and had no idea what it meant, had difficulty thinking about the amount of information brought by Qi Chengjing.
Dual cultivation requires Yuan Yang, and Your Majesty has many women, which means that Your Majesty has Yuan Yang but not much.
After realizing this, Shen Zhi frowned in distress. He would not practice dual cultivation with the Master tomorrow, as he would definitely not get much benefit.
Shen Zhi impatiently drove Qi Chengjing out of the mansion, then flew up to the phoenix tree and grabbed the leaves from time to time.
Sensing Shen Zhi's unhappiness, the old sycamore tree curled up its soft branches to lure the little phoenix to play. The underage bird eagerly tried to reach the nimble and evasive leaves, but each time it missed by just inches.
The little phoenix was addicted to this simple and happy game. She forgot her previous unhappiness and gradually became happy.
Shen Zhi was crawling on a tree branch, crouching quietly, staring intently at the branch in front of him that was slowly reaching out again. The next second, a smug smile appeared in his beautiful eyes, and the little phoenix, which was ready to take off, soared into the air and flew up.
The branch barely avoided the claws of the naughty bird, and the careless little phoenix slipped from the old sycamore tree and fell straight down.
The old sycamore tree was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it, but someone was much faster than him.
"Baby, you are so naughty at this age, you will be spanked," Hu Zang grabbed the little phoenix's waist with a smile, half-carried her to the ground.
Hu Zang raised his folding fan and gently fanned away the phoenix flower that had fallen on the little phoenix's hair. He said to the old phoenix tree, "Master Wutong, you are old now. You must take good care of this noisy bird."
The old sycamore tree sighed, and half of its sycamore flowers fell off the tree, and all the weak branches were gathered together.
Hu Zang withdrew his gaze from Old Wutong and turned back to Que'er, who had no idea what was going on and was still playing with flowers.
"Don't play with Grandpa Wutong recently, he has to go into seclusion to practice," Hu Zang walked up to Shen Zhi, who was squatting on the ground picking Wutong flowers.
Shen Zhi stood up suddenly, and the unsuspecting Hu Zang was almost knocked down by the reckless little phoenix.
Hu Zang helplessly brushed the fallen flowers from his ears and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Shen Zhi angrily slapped Hu Zang's hand away. It was clear that Lao Wutong was playing with him just now, but how come he wanted to go and practice in such a short while?
Shen Zhi glared at Hu Zang, then trotted to the roots of the old Wutong tree and shouted, "Old Wutong? Old Wutong?"
The old Wutong who had fallen into a deep sleep could not give Shen Zhi any response. Only then did the little phoenix confirm that the old Wutong had really gone into seclusion to practice.
Hu Zang stood in the distance, smiling naturally and elegantly, "I told you, but you didn't listen."
Shen Zhi, who had lost his playmate, walked over unhappily and looked up at Hu Zang and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Hu Zang shrugged to indicate that the Lord had a command for him to convey.
After hearing this, Little Phoenix couldn't believe it: "Go to Qiongying Island now?"
Hu Zang nodded affirmatively. Although he didn't know why Ye Qing was so anxious, as a subordinate he just had to follow orders.
Shen Zhi was furious. His Majesty had promised to practice dual cultivation with him tomorrow. Although he didn't want to do it now, His Majesty wanted him to go on a mission now, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to ruin the agreement for tomorrow.
Unable to bear the grievance, the little phoenix was about to rush into Ye Qing's palace in anger, but Hu Zang quickly stopped her, "Even if you go, the Lord will not see you. He is in seclusion."
This one is really closed.
Shen Zhi, who had no place to vent his anger, turned around and stared at Hu Zang.
Hu Zang shuddered for no apparent reason and let go of Shen Zhi awkwardly, "What... is wrong? What do you want to talk to Your Excellency about? I can convey it to you."
Hu Zang originally intended to think that if the little bird had any requests that were not too excessive, he could satisfy them, but it was obvious that this uneducated and literal little phoenix misunderstood.
"Can you contact the Lord? Was it you who suggested that he not see me?!" Shen Zhi had long disliked this stinky fox. He tried to sow discord in front of the Lord every day, causing him to be beaten every day when Hu Zang first arrived.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Hu Zang quickly denied it: "It has nothing to do with me. Do you want to think about what you did to Your Majesty?"
Every time Shen Zhi was beaten, it was because of his own fault. Just ask yourself, how could someone burn down half of the Mingyu Temple, mess up the list of high priests, sneak into the treasure house of the Lord in the middle of the night, and do other evil things without being punished?
The fact that this bird is still alive today made Hu Zang wonder if the ancestor of the Phoenix clan was secretly bribing the Heavenly Dao.
How could Shen Zhi think that he did anything wrong? He said unhappily, "He just asked him to practice dual cultivation with me. Is that too much?"
Isn't that too much? Hu Zang suddenly had a heart attack.
Even though he thought about how bold Shen Zhi was, he never imagined that he would do such a thing.
Hu Zang walked up to Shen Zhi, and with lingering fear, he put away the feather whip of the sparrow, and asked in confusion: "Baby, why do you want to practice dual cultivation with the Lord?"
How did Shen Zhi know about this? Could it be that someone instigated it? Hu Zang suspected for a while and felt that the newcomer Qi Chengjing was the most suspicious. He would not let Qi Chengjing go.
Shen Zhi turned his head away and refused to pay any attention to Hu Zang.
Hu Zang knew that the bird was angry again, so he coaxed it gently, "Tell me, I won't tell anyone else. You know I'm always on your side. Last time you told me that Cang Feijiao caused you to be punished, I punished him after I came back."
Shen Zhi looked at Hu Zang awkwardly and confirmed, "Really?"
Hu Zang gently stroked the proud little phoenix, smiled and affirmed: "Cang Feijiao can't get out of bed yet."
Of course, Cang Feijiao is also on the mission to Qiongying Island, so there is no need to tell Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi's bad mood improved a little, and he told Hu Zang: "I am already 300 years old and I am not yet an adult. I have to practice with the Master to achieve a breakthrough in spiritual power."
Hu Zang's eyes darkened for a moment, staring at the beautiful and bright face of the little phoenix, and slowly retracted the smile on his lips.
"Why don't you say anything!" Shen Zhi was a little angry, thinking that Hu Zang was secretly laughing at him in his heart.
He knew that this stinky fox was the worst. He smiled all day long but was actually full of evil intentions. Who knows how he would mock him.
Seeing that the hot-tempered little phoenix was about to get angry, Hu Zang, who had his attention called back, said to the rescue: "I was just thinking about how to help you as much as possible."
Shen Zhi showed a puzzled look.
Hu Zang wrapped the whip in his hand around Little Phoenix's waist again and said slowly, "You see, the Lord has so many women. You won't get much spiritual power by practicing with him, right? You can wait until you return from this mission and ask the Lord to find other powerful cultivators who are still in Chuyang to help you."
Shen Zhi turned his rusty little head and muttered, "What you said sounds like Qi Chengjing."
It was Qi Chengjing again. A thoughtful look flashed in Hu Zang's eyes, and he used a little more force on Shen Zhi's whip, which caused Little Phoenix to be slightly dissatisfied.
Shen Zhi nodded thoughtfully, then said to Hu Zang: "Give me the way to contact you, Your Majesty."
Hu Zang: ...
What could a fox like him do? He couldn't afford to offend this little phoenix of noble blood, so he had no choice but to apologize to the master.
Shen Zhi happily packed up all the voice stones on Hu Zang and followed Hu Zang onto the spaceship to Qiongying Island.
As soon as he landed on Qiongying Island, Shen Zhi saw Cang Feijiao, who was shrinking timidly and had a bruised face and nose, at the stern of the ship.
Shen Zhi looked at Hu Zang and asked what was going on. He even wanted to beat Cang Feijiao up. Hu Zang quickly stopped him and said, "Let Master Cang go. All the bones in Master Cang's body are broken. He can't even stand up."
Shen Zhi curled his lips and out of kindness let Cang Feijiao go.
Qi Chengjing had come up a long time ago and watched Shen Zhi get on the boat with Hu Zang. Hu Zang was the high priest of Mingyu Palace and held almost most of the power in Mingyu Palace.
However, Qi Chengjing felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw Hu Zang for the first time, so he did not go to find Shen Zhi immediately, but went to Cang Feijiao instead.
Cang Feijiao felt that he had made a huge mistake, as he had done a great deed, and the Lord valued him and held a banquet for him, but it was ruined by Shen Zhi. A few days later, the high priest came back and found a reason to punish the Lord, leaving him with aches all over his body.
Qi Chengjing came at a bad time. He didn't get any useful information about Hu Zang from Cang Feijiao. He only heard Cang Feijiao crying in pain and cursing Hu Zang under his breath.
Qi Chengjing's patience ran out. He glanced at Hu Zang and Shen Zhi who were talking intimately with their heads close to each other not far away. The extremely proud Little Phoenix was so happy that she almost fell into Hu Zang's arms. Qi Chengjing concealed the melancholy in his eyes.
"If Lord Cang has nothing to do, I will leave first." Qi Chengjing was in no mood to deal with this idiot.
Cang Feijiao quickly grabbed him. He felt that among the four people on this boat, although Qi Chengjing was weaker, he still thought Qi Chengjing was a good person and couldn't wait to pull him to his side.
"To be honest, my brother, I do have a favor to ask for," Cang Feijiao glanced at the smiling Shen Zhi and said in a low voice, "The tendons of my second eldest master were peeled off by the Left Protector and made into his feather whip. I have had nightmares recently. I dreamed that my second eldest master was crying and begging me to help him get his tendons back so that he can rest in peace."
Cang Feijiao knew that people valued the dead the most. Seeing Qi Chengjing's solemn expression, he felt that something was going to happen, so he asked tentatively, "Brother Xian, you won't ignore it, right?"
Qi Chengjing was silent for a while, then stood up and left.
Shen Zhi stopped Qi Chengjing who was walking towards the bow, and asked curiously, "What did Cang Feijiao tell you?"
Qi Chengjing paused and turned around to see the cunning high priest concentrating on peeling bamboo rice for Shen Zhi. There were broken shells on the table and the bright red fruits were being fed into the little phoenix's mouth one by one.
This originally very harmonious and warm scene made Qi Chengjing frown slightly.
He couldn't tell what was wrong with him, but his heart was beating unusually heavily.
"He asked me to steal the tendons of his second eldest master, saying that he wanted to keep his body intact." Qi Chengjing sat on the ground, opposite Shen Zhi, and revealed Cang Feijiao's past in a calm voice.
Shen Zhi pushed Hu Zang's hand that was twisting the bamboo rice away, took out the feather whip, and gritted his teeth and said: "Cang Feijiao really died of filial piety for his second uncle, and left a whole body. I think he wanted to use my feather whip for nothing."
The irritated Little Phoenix turned around and went to settle the score with Cang Feijiao, completely unaware of the undercurrents in the eyes of the two men remaining at the table.
