Chapter 42

  Dong Li Zhao saw Xu Zi Qing and didn't get angry, but instead had a bit of a childish tone: "Sir, don't be annoyed with me."

  Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "What's wrong with you?"

  Dong Li was delighted in her heart, but thinking of Xu Ziqing's departure, she lowered her eyes and felt reluctant: "Sir, can't you stay for a few more days? Are you really leaving now?"

  Xu Ziqing sighed: "I was just looking for you to talk about this matter. When your imperial brother is free, I also have something to say to him."

  Growing up in the Dongli Zhao Sheng Palace, how could he not know what Xu Ziqing meant? He quickly said: "Sir's intention is to not leave, right?"

  Xu Ziqing said seriously: "Yun brother told me something big, which is related to your country of Cheng. I'd like to leave, but I'm afraid it's not possible."

  "Wait, sir! I'll go find my elder brother!"

  Xu Ziqing saw him about to rush out, pulled him back and handed him a talisman: "Be careful, this talisman can make people not see you, but you cannot make a sound, remember clearly."

  Dong Li Zhao nodded "yes" and quickly walked away.

  Xu Ziqing had just sunk his consciousness into the storage ring and asked: "Yun brother, do you want to meet Dong Lixi?"

  A cold voice floated over: "No need."

  Xu Ziqing smiled slightly and stopped bothering him.

  Before long, Dong Li Zhao hastily arrived. It turned out that the place where Dong Li Xi was being closely watched. He used a talisman to hide outside and waited for a while before seeing Dong Li Xi drive away the eunuchs. However, those slaves were shouting and ordering several people to stick around and guard, and Dong Li Zhao had no opportunity to enter.

  Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, just follow me." He then used an eye-blocking technique to lead Dong Lishao into the inner chamber of Dong Lixi's bedroom.

  Two people suddenly appeared, Dong Li Xi was startled, but reacted extremely quickly and did not utter a sound of surprise.

  Xu Zi Qing immediately made a seal, preventing outsiders from hearing the voices inside. He also secretly instructed Chong Hua to quietly wait in the outer courtyard under the trees, ready to strike at any moment.

  Xu Ziqing said: "Now let's talk, it shouldn't attract attention."

  Dong Li Xi took a deep breath and saw Dong Li Zhao's expression, and he had some guesses. He smiled and said: "Mr. Xu has come here, is there any instruction?"

  Xu Ziqing nodded: "You're taking on the affairs of the Chengguo, I'm afraid I'll have to get involved too."

  Dong Li Xi was taken aback: "Mr. Xu has changed his mind, could it be that our country is not suitable?" He asked himself and also had a few points of observation, this Mr. Xu, a Taoist cultivator with clear eyes, was indeed a kind-hearted and righteous person, if not necessary, he would not have such thoughts.

  Xu Ziqing smiled in appreciation: "You're right." Then he sighed, "There are evil demons in the demonic path who want to overthrow the Cheng Huang Kingdom. As immortal cultivators, we can't just stand by and do nothing since we know about it."

  Dong Li's heart tightened: "Mr. Xu means..."

  Xu Ziqing slightly swept her sleeve: "You two brothers go to the window, I will open your eyes to observe the aura of the imperial city."

  Dong Li Zhao had tried the method before and was not flustered. Dong Li Xi heard it with a calm head, adding to what he had just heard, and forcibly suppressed his emotions, finally calming down.

  He took a glance, and also saw the dragon and snake entwined on the imperial city, Dong Lixi's heart was as fine as dust, and he understood that licentious attitude. However, he didn't feel ashamed yet, but instead saw the red glow in the black python's eyes, feeling it was extremely evil, making people see it and feel a chill down their spine.

  Dong Lixi was several years older than Dong Li Zhao, and as the crown prince, he considered himself more aware of the severity of the situation. He said, "Mr. Xu, that black python is not suitable."

  Xu Ziqing said, "The matter of Hei Jiao and Jin Long is to absorb the dragon energy of Jin Long, transfer the Qi of the Crown Prince to his own body, and transform Hei Jiao into a dragon. Now that Hei Jiao has grown one horn, two claws with four toes, and the other two claws already have five toes, it can be seen that the day of transformation is not far off."

  Dong Li Xi's face turned pale, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, sir. Now that I know, I won't let him succeed again."

  Xu Ziqing said: "However, the Black Python has a demonic aura, and the Black Python is transformed by the operation of Jiao Tu's aura. Therefore, if it is not Jiao Tu, then it must be an evil demon cultivator, or there is only one possibility."

  "Sir, what is it?"

  Xu Ziqing said: "Possession."

  Dong Li Xi exclaimed: "...... Possession?"

  What is called possession, is when the physical body is severely injured and the yuan Shen is trapped, the yuan Shen is sacrificed and attached to another person's body, in order to move freely. In the meantime, use magic and Taoist methods to nourish the physical body, cultivate the physical body, and then retrieve the yuan Shen at the right time, so that it can be stronger than before the injury by several points.

  However, this method is extremely detrimental to the possessed person and is inherently evil, making it utterly despicable.

  Xu Ziqing originally didn't know what kind of creature was possessing him, it was just a rumor that had been passed down through the years. But once he found out, he also felt uneasy.

  He explained this matter with his two brothers. Dong Li Zhao was already exclaiming: "Sir has said that people from the lower nine continents cannot cultivate, then...then..."

  Xu Ziqing nodded: "That evil demon can only possess Jiao Tu's body to be like this."

  Dong Li Zhao's face turned ugly: "If so, is Jiao Tou dead?"

  Before Xu Ziqing could respond, Dong Lixi suddenly spoke up: "Jiao Tu and I have met many times, observing his behavior and demeanor, which are no different from before."

  Xu Ziqing was slightly taken aback, and it seemed as though there was something more to what he had just said.

  Dong Li Xi's eyes surged with emotions as he said, "Ten years ago, I had already met Jiao Tu. At that time, although he was the elder brother of the Empress, we were very close. When I became the Crown Prince, he became my secret ally."

  Jiao Tu and Huang Fei were half-siblings, but they didn't have a deep affection for each other. Instead, the two of them had been good friends for many years. Those things that seemed to be avoiding each other on the surface were just precautions against the former emperor's suspicions. Later, Jiao Tu suddenly turned against him, killing everyone in the imperial court and imprisoning Dong Li Xue in the Eastern Palace, making Dong Li Xue think that he had misjudged people and was blinded by appearances. Who would have thought that later, Huang Fei and Dong Li Zhang were also killed by him? If it's said that Jiao Tu had a rebellious heart, but didn't ascend to the throne, then many doubts arose about his intentions. Therefore, he pretended to submit, but secretly wanted to regain power and reclaim the throne.

  Dong Lixi knew that Jiao Tu had some power in his hands, but he also understood how much influence Jiao Tu had. Dong Lixi thought it was just a matter of time, and as long as Jiao Tu didn't kill him too, he could secretly plot and wait for the east wind to rise again.

  But now that he heard the monk's words, the matter was far from being as simple as he had thought, and it also involved external forces, which made Dong Liuxi's mind complicated.

  At that time, Dong Li Xiang was still young and afraid of him spilling the beans, so Dong Li Xi never told him clearly. Later on... he would be even less likely to open up to him.

  Xian Xia Dong Li Zhao heard this and was shocked, almost jumping up: "Big brother, is Jiao Tu your man?"

  Dong Li Xi nodded slightly, but her eyes had a complex expression: "It was back then."

  However, it is unknown when he was possessed by someone, and whether it is still him now. If not, Dong Li Xi has known him for many years and should not have mistaken him. It's just that there must be some evil magic at work, but he doesn't know how much of a scheme the other person has or if he has been deceived.

  Xu Ziqing said, "The theory of Qi Yun is related to the soul and body. Xie Mo Xiu is a person from Shang Jiu Zhou. If he only stole Jiao Tu's physical body and erased his soul, it would not be enough to manifest the black python of Qi Yun. Therefore, Jiao Tu should still be alive."

  Just focusing on living, but for him and Xie Mo's confrontation, it is extremely disadvantageous.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Li Xi's eyes sparkled, but it was unclear what she was thinking.

  Xu Ziqing thought that since Dong Lixi and Jiao Tu were once close friends who shared many secrets, they must have trusted each other with their lives at the time. Later, when various things happened, Dong Lixi must have had a lot of resentment towards Jiao Tu. But now that he knew Jiao Tu was actually controlled by someone else, he couldn't help but worry about him.

  However, this has nothing to do with Xu Ziqing. At this moment, he only wants to know what Jiao Tu's purpose is in order to deal with him. Hei Jiao and Jin Long are for transforming into a dragon, but if Hei Jiao transforms into a dragon, what use would it be for the evil demon cultivators? Thinking left and right, he couldn't figure it out, but if he can't understand it clearly, he's afraid of not handling this matter properly and being blamed by the Heavenly Dao.

  Xu Ziqing then told Dong Lixi about his worries.

  Dong Li Xi thought for a moment and then said: "These days, Fu Rou must come to my palace at night, when the time comes, I will take the opportunity to probe her."

  As for the matter of intriguing against each other, speaking in a roundabout way to seize power and so on, Xu Ziqing, this extraordinary person, would naturally not be a match for these imperial princes. It would be better to entrust it to Dong Lixi to handle, rather than having him search around himself.

  Xu Ziqing made the decision and did not take Dong Lishao away. He had to do this, he must discuss with Dong Lixi from time to time, it's better to be closer.

  It was just after dusk when Jiao Tu arrived as expected.

  Xu Ziqing worried that the evil demon would discover him, so he quickly used the Forbidden Circle to trap Dong Lishao. He then used a Wooden Concealment Technique to hide his entire body's aura within a pot of orchids.

  That Jiao Tu rushed in, raised her hand and pulled Dong Li Xi over, kissed him randomly on the face, then sucked his lips and rolled them around enough, before laughing: "You're quite obedient today."

  Dong Li Xi looked at him with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, and his expression was also cold.

  Seeing his appearance, he let go of his hand with a hum: "What do you mean by looking at me like this?" Then he went up to him again and hugged him, wanting to kiss him. "Good times are short, don't waste the spring night here." As he spoke, he pressed Dong Li's palm on it, that thing had already raised its head, so hard it was painful.

  Dong Li Xi curled up the corner of his mouth: "You came to find me, just for this lewd thing, thinking I'm a plaything for you to humiliate."

  His face changed color several times, seeing Dong Li Xi not being moved, he scratched his head and said: "How I treat you, don't you know? How can you take yourself as a plaything!"

  Dong Li Xi coldly snorted: "You speak so well, but your actions are a completely different story."

  Jiao Tu was somewhat impatient: "What's wrong with you today, why are you saying this to me?"

  Dong Li Xi coldly smiled: "I don't want to do that with you again, what will you do!"

  Jiao Tu paced back and forth in the house, anxious like an ant on a hot pot: "You're not entirely unpleased, why are you being so pretentious!"

  Dong Li Xi shot back, laughing mockingly: "You're quite straightforward, why don't you try putting the pressure on me for once? I'm the majestic Crown Prince, forced to be submissive, and now I have to thank you?"

  His attitude was so intense, and Jiao Tou became even more agitated: "You... you..."

  Dong Li Xi was using his words to distract Jiao Tu while observing his expression.

  He used to think that Jiao Tu was a traitor, and he hated him so much that he couldn't imagine having such feelings again! But now that he has feelings for her, he can see the worry in Jiao Tu's eyes, which makes him even more convinced of what Xu Zi Qing said, and also senses that Jiao Tu seems to have some hidden sorrow.

  Jiao Tu didn't know what Dong Li Xi was thinking, but he was full of worries. If he had to force Dong Li Xi again, he couldn't bear it, but how could he discuss this life-and-death matter with him?

  Dong Li Xi's tone softened a bit as he said, "We've been friends for many years, and we're brothers who can go through life and death together. I resent you for humiliating me like this, but I forgot to ask one thing - why do you want to treat me like this?"

  Jiao Tu heard the words and paused for a moment, first letting out a deep sigh, then looked at Dong Li Xi, his eyes with an indescribable expression: "You've never asked before, so why are you asking today..."

  "Regardless of the reason, you must give me a satisfying answer."

  "That's not the reason, it's just that I have a crush on you. If you become the king, I'll be your subject, and even if we're brothers, I won't be able to bear you having three palaces and six courtyards. By then, it will be even more difficult for me to be with you."

  Dong Li's heart was no less turbulent than a stormy sea.

  Moreover, regardless of the real reason, Dong Li Xi deeply understood Jiao Tu's intentions and felt that his words were all true. In the past, when Jiao Tu had forced himself on him, Dong Li Xi thought it was just because Jiao Tu was infatuated with him and wanted to suppress him as the crown prince to satisfy his desire for conquest. But now, even if Hei Yan and Jin Long's intentions were indeed only to transform into a dragon, Jiao Tu's actions towards Dong Li Xi had many genuine desires behind them.

  Jiao Tu's infatuation with Dong Li Xi was indeed a deep and foolish obsession...

  "With a heavy gaze, Dong Li Xi rebuked: 'Just because of this, you can destroy my kingdom and imprison me in the palace? Your affection is shameless!'"

  Jiao Tu couldn't help but feel a surge of pain in his eyes, and he closed them for a moment, his face twitching. When he opened them again, they were filled with a fierce glare: "Victor or defeated, what's the point of saying such nonsense! You'd better get on the bed and spread your legs for me, otherwise... Hmph, I'll break your bones!"

  Dong Li's heart skipped a beat. Just now, because of his careful thinking, he had already noticed that there was a wisp of black fog flashing in Jiao Tu's eyes, and now with this attitude, it made him see the difference.

  If it were really Jiao Tu, apart from teasing on the bed, he would never speak such insulting words, nor would he utter threatening words.

  Thinking back on their past interactions, Dong Li Xi had already understood a bit.

  It's indeed possession.

  At the same time, Xu Ziqing, who was hiding in the grass, also had the same idea.

  Unlike Dong Li Xi, who could sense it due to his sharp thoughts and familiarity with Jiao Tu, Xu Zi Qing was able to detect the change in Jiao Tu's aura instantly - right after Dong Li Xi scolded him, he suddenly became mysterious and evil.

  Dong Li Xi was very uncooperative tonight, Jiao Tu didn't force him, but was suppressed by the evil demon cultivator and had to take action personally. Xue Zi Qing also seemed to have some feelings, that Jiao Tu seemed to have some communication with the evil demon cultivator, and wasn't completely unaware of the current situation.

  Xu Ziqing was hesitant, if the evil demon wanted to move Dong Lixi, he didn't know how much harm it would bring. Originally, he thought of exploring the situation first, but if he implicated Dong Lixi, it would be a great loss.

  At this moment, the evil spirit attached to Jiao Tu's body was about to grab Da Shou and drag Dong Li Xi onto the bed.

  Xu Ziqing's heart tightened, but he still decided to take action.

  But in the next moment, Dong Li Xi suddenly sneered and stabbed a dagger into his heart!

  "What are you doing?"

  He immediately saw Dong Li Xi's face turn pale, the dagger entering his flesh with fresh blood gushing out, and in an instant he was seriously injured.

  Xiamu's expression changed in an instant as he flew into a rage: "Summon the imperial physician at once!"

  Dong Li Xi collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with cold light.

  Xu Ziqing suddenly took a cold breath. This prince was indeed ruthless, daring to take such drastic measures against himself! If he wasn't careful, his life would be in danger!

  The evil spirit was exorcised, and the nasal breathing became coarse and panting. The air got on his face and turned red, and then he changed his expression, covered his forehead with his hand, and quickly walked out of the door.

  Several eunuchs came in quickly, followed by an old man with white hair and beard, carrying a medicine box. They hastily helped Dong Lihui onto the bed. Then there was a flurry of activity, Xu Ziqing sighed silently, while Dong Liying endured and endured, but did not rush over urgently.

  The imperial physician finally finished his busy work and made a diagnosis, saying that Dong Li Xian needed to rest quietly for a period of time and could not move around too much. The eunuch went to explain the situation to Yan Mo, but only heard him let out a cold snort before he strode away quickly.

  Dong Li Xi's face was pale, although she hadn't fainted, her forehead was covered in fine sweat.

  The imperial physician did not dare to make any drastic diagnosis, and could only let him hold the ginseng slice to sustain his life, and pull out the dagger for him. Afterwards, he busied himself attending to Dong Li Xian as he lay down, before daring to go prepare the medicine and so on.

  As the imperial physician left, Dong Li Xi shouted: "All of you get out."

  The eunuch in charge was unwilling to leave, wanting to stay by the bed, but Dong Li Xi deliberately kept gasping for breath, as if she was so angry that she was about to faint, and he had no choice but to follow her out.

  The room finally calmed down, and Xu Ziqing set up a seal before appearing in front of the bed with Dong Lishao.

  Dong Li's eyes turned red as he trembled with rage, saying: "Big brother, how can you be so ruthless to yourself? Are you trying to break my heart?! If Mother were still alive, she would be furious with you!"

  Dong Li Xi smiled weakly, with a hint of apology in his eyes, but no regret. He said, "Zhao Er, if I let him succeed again today, and the black dragon turns into a golden dragon, making me surrender the country to a new ruler, that would be the real crime of the ages. Now it's just a minor injury, what's the big deal?"

  He is just an ordinary person, how can he know that the evil demon has other means? Only by harming himself can he temporarily escape.

  Dong Li Zhao also knew that this matter was of great importance, but after all, he was a brother who relied on each other for life and death. Even if he understood the reason, how could he really convince himself?

  Dong Li Xi saw that his brother still looked unrepentant, and couldn't help but glance at the young monk, saying: "I suppose Mr. Xu also agrees with me." But as he looked over, he saw that Xu Zi Qing seemed to be in a daze, and hastily called out softly, "Sir, sir?"

  Xu Ziqing, however, had sunk his consciousness into the Storage Ring and was speaking with Yun Liao. At this time, he came back to himself and walked over, grasping Dong Liuxi's wrist: "Not mentioning anything else, I'll give you a spiritual energy to guide the vital energy in your body, which should allow you to maintain your vitality indefinitely. Wait for me to prepare another dose of medicine, and after drinking it, you'll be fine."

  Dong Li Zhao understood Xu Zi Qing's magical technique and also saw that one taste of the divine medicine. He immediately happily said, "Thank you, sir!"

  Dong Li Xi also dared to be so because there were monks by his side, and he was extremely brave. Now that he heard these words, he felt relieved and smiled: "Thank you, sir."

  At this time, Xu Ziqing thought of what he had just said to Yun Liao, and called out again: "Brother Yun, Brother Yun, you also saw the evil demon's cultivation, did you find anything? What idea did he come up with?"

  Author has something to say: Thank you everyone for the thunder, I just found out that you all pushed me up to the top of the Billboard charts! I've been eyeing that for a long time! This time I actually made it on! Very touched, and then again group mua~~~~
