Volume 3: Stormy Chapter 230: The Four-Disc Warlock and Ulterior Motives
Somewhere in a secret laboratory.
A huge furnace was placed in the middle of the room, and from a distance it looked like an alchemy furnace.
"Little Brother Ma...Ma Xianhong! Are you in there? If you are, give me a response..."
A bearded man standing in front of the stove spoke loudly.
"I can hear you, no need to speak so loudly!"
Crash!
With a slight sound, Ma Xianhong lay on a skateboard and slid out from under the stove.
After taking off the monocular lens on his eyes, Ma Xianhong looked at the bearded man in front of him and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The bearded man looked at Ma Xianhong and fell into silence.
Ever since Ma Xianhong met Wang Bing from the Wang family, he came back without saying anything and focused all his attention on improving the stove.
He basically has no contact with anyone, even those people he brought out from Biyou Village. Ma Xianhong hasn't paid any attention to them recently and has been staying in the house all day long.
As for Qu Tong, he has been secluded in his house recently and no one knows what he is doing.
Look, the bearded man is still worried, so he comes to see Ma Xianhong.
"What do you want from me? I'm at a critical moment recently. Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"
Ma Xianhong controlled Ruhua to pour him a glass of water. He did not hesitate and took a few gulps of the water.
"The president has been in seclusion recently. Let me see if you need any help. If you need anything, just tell me..."
“I see…”
Before the bearded man could finish, Ma Xianhong said, "I have some ideas on how to improve the self-cultivation furnace. I need a sorcerer. Ordinary sorcerers may not be able to meet my needs..."
At this point, Ma Xianhong seemed to have thought of something, "What has Wang been doing recently?"
"Wang Ye?"
The bearded man thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Taoist Wang has just left the capital recently. He has been with Zhuge Qing for some time. Do you want to find Wang Ye to help you improve this furnace?"
"If Wang can't do it, Zhuge Qing can do it!"
Ma Xianhong said in a deep voice: "At least he needs to be a sorcerer who can master the four levels of heaven, earth, man and god. I think that's enough..."
There are indeed quite a few warlocks in the circle, and now the warlocks walking in the circle are roughly divided into three factions.
Part of it comes from Taoism. There are also many people in Zhengyi and Quanzhen who are both Taoists and sorcerers.
The second part is the independent sorcerers who roam the world, most of whom gather together under the Shuzi Sect.
As for the last type, they are family sorcerers, like the Gu family and the Zhuge family, who make a living by using family magic.
In short, this group of charlatans have a lot of influence not only in their circle, but also in ordinary people's society.
Among these warlocks, there are also different levels.
The criterion for judging those who practice Qimen Bureau is their mastery of the four plates of heaven, earth, man and god.
As for those who practice the six-line method, it is a test of their control over the hexagrams...
The four levels of Heaven, Earth, Man and God are easy to say but not so easy to master.
It's a miracle that the Zhuge family has a Zhuge Qing. Look at his cousins, most of them only master one plate. For example, Zhuge Guan masters the Eight Formations of the Land Plate, Zhuge Shengshen masters the Eight Gods Plate, and Zhuge Meng masters the Eight Gates of the Human Plate.
Although Zhuge Qing is not as good as his cousins in mastering each plate, overall, Zhuge Qing, who has mastered four plates, is far stronger than them.
Ma Xianhong wanted Qu Tong and his men to help him find someone who could play the four games...
This is a bit troublesome...
The bearded man thought to himself, but his emotion was not shown on his face. He nodded and agreed to Ma Xianhong, then turned and left the workshop.
After watching Qu Tong's people leave, Ma Xianhong's face showed a complicated look.
…
Wang’s home, Wang Ai’s study.
In Wang Ai's study, Wang Bing and his grandson were sitting there. There was a cup of hot tea on the small table beside them. There was a cloud of white steam floating above the hot tea until it disappeared.
At this time, Wang Ai was looking down and thinking about what Wang Bing had just said, "You mean to say that Feng Tianyang didn't pass on the whole story when he was teaching it, but he left behind the complete version of the Soul Binding and General Dispatching Story?"
As Wang Ai spoke, he tapped his fingers lightly on his cane, as if he was considering the possibility of this matter.
"I just have some doubts..."
Wang Bing pondered for a moment and continued, "The old saying is true. If you are willing to sacrifice your life, you will dare to dethrone the emperor. As for Feng Zhenghao, I think he will kneel down to you when he meets you! This is why I have never wanted you to meet him."
"For a man who doesn't even care about his reputation, Tianxia Group is nothing more than a possession to him..."
At this point, Wang Bing's tone became more serious. "Think about it, if this person presented us with everything that you thought was absolutely impossible to give us, what would you think?"
"While he was talking to my father, I was thinking about a question: Does Feng Zhenghao really want to get the Soul Constraint and General Dispatching from us?"
"Did we misunderstand Feng Zhenghao's purpose from the very beginning...and his real purpose is to destroy our Wang family !"
“…”
Seeing that the old man also began to think about this question, Wang Bing continued: "Based on my hypothesis, I have a question. Is it that Feng Zhenghao... or Feng Tianyang, left the complete Soul Binding and General Sent to the Feng family, but Feng Zhenghao didn't know about it, or is it that Feng Xingtong just didn't learn it..."
"Think carefully, have you ever seen Feng Zhenghao take action?"
“That makes sense!”
There was a gleam of brilliance in Wang Ai's eyes. Just as Wang Bing said, he, Wang Ai, had indeed never seen the situation when Feng Zhenghao took action. Not only him, but other members of the Wang family had never seen it either.
Therefore, there is no definitive answer as to whether Feng Zhenghao's method of summoning spirits and generals is complete.
What we know now is that Feng Xingtong's side is not complete, otherwise Wang Bing would not be able to forcibly snatch the spirit from Feng Xingtong.
But if it is true as Wang Bing said, that the Feng family actually has a complete system of summoning spirits and dispatching generals, then the situation would be different.
"So what do you think?"
Wang Ai glanced at Wang Bing and asked, "Since he is about to come to your door, are you going to push him away?"
"That's not the case. I've already given the Feng family a chance!"
Wang Bing said calmly: "The only thing that bothers me right now is his identity as a 'brother'. If we really end up falling out..."
"Are you saying it's inconvenient to do it? Because we're all 'bosses'. Are you worried about being laughed at by the company?"
After all, Wang Bing was brought up by Wang Ai. Even if Wang Ai doesn't tell him 100% of what Wang Bing is thinking, he can still guess 70% to 80% of it.
"I do have concerns , but I am more worried about the situation of the Wang family in the future when they attend the Ten Lords' Meeting..."
Indeed, we are all one of the Ten Bosses, and we are all on the same side. You just came up and killed another boss. What do you think others will think?
Although the Feng family is of a rather special nature, people won't say much about it, but whether they'll feel uncomfortable in their hearts is another matter.
Wang Ai raised his eyebrows. “You don’t have to worry too much about this. In fact, when Feng Zhenghao was on the rise, we old guys discussed this guy! Should we let him become bigger or not?”
"But, it was our Wang family who saved him in the first place. Originally, those old foxes meant that the problems left behind by the Wang family should be solved by the Wang family themselves."
"But your great-grandfather has already agreed to protect the Feng family, so I don't plan to pursue this further... That's why the following events happened!"
Wang Ai glanced at Wang Bing and said, "Do you remember when you told me you didn't want to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"
"Remember, I originally wanted to let Wang Fu attend on my behalf. This kind of occasion is quite boring..."
"That's what the other families mean!"
Wang Ai interrupted Wang Bing and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you go to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony or not, but other families don't want the Feng family to establish their authority at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, so..."
"Could it be that the draw was..."
"That lottery box is just an ordinary lottery box. None of you here are simple people. You can roughly know who holds the lottery ticket when you grab the card! You don't think it's a coincidence that you and Feng Xingtong are assigned to the same round!" Wang Ai said with a smile.
“…”
Wang Bing finally came to his senses, "Then Deng Youfu..."
"I can only say that the boy was unlucky and was used as a stepping stone for the boy from the Feng family."
Wang Ai said in a deep voice: "This person, the higher he stands, the harder he will fall!"
These words made Wang Bing a little dazed. He really didn't think about it at the time.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be true. Deng Youfu helped Feng Xingtong rise to prominence, and then I kicked him down with one kick...
However, Wang Bing could understand why these people would do this.
Feng Zhenghao, the descendant of the "criminal" of Jiashen, has already given you a very favorable living environment, but you are still not satisfied and have to jump out to force several big guys to accept you.
They were the so-called "righteous" people during the Jiashen Rebellion.
Now, you, the "villain", are sitting together with us "decent" people. Don't you think this is disgusting?
This makes everything that everyone has done before seem like a joke.
That's why Wang Bing was asked to come on the field to deal with Feng Xingtong.
"It's a bit disgusting..."
Wang Bing bared his teeth, "Are you playing so dirty?"
Wang Bing doesn't think he is a good person, but he has been adhering to his bottom line for so many years.
"You don't have to worry too much when dealing with the Feng family. Just do what you have to do."
Wang Ai looked at Wang Bing and smiled, saying, "I have indeed made some progress over the years. I know how to think about things more comprehensively. Just like what you said, Feng Zhenghao may not be here to arrest spirits and send the future away..."
"Grandpa, what do you say? Let's add some smoke bombs."
