Xu Wen heard something that he felt was very important from the conversation he had just had with Mi Tushan.

That was the sealing conference a hundred years ago. In fact, something happened.

Xu Wen had a feeling that maybe that incident was related to the current one.

So Xu Wen asked Mi Tushan eagerly.

After hearing this, Mi Tushan replied.

"A change did indeed occur in the Sealing Conference a hundred years ago."

"You also know that there was a world war a hundred years ago."

Hearing this, Xu Wen was stunned for a moment.

He recalled that it was indeed the outbreak of the World War a hundred years ago.

At that time, Shanjiang City was also caught in the flames of war.

The entire city was crumbling under the hail of artillery fire and bullets.

Although Xu Wen had not experienced that war, he knew how terrible it was.

No one wants to mention it because it is an eternal scar in human history.

But Xu Wen really didn't expect that the sealing conference a hundred years ago would actually collide with a world war.

He didn't ask any more questions, but listened patiently to Mi Tushan's detailed explanation.

Mi Tushan continued.

"That war was tragic, and this country was not immune and was forced to get involved in that stupid war."

"We Taoists also have to get involved in this war to protect our country."

"But there are only a few people in the Taoist sect. In the end, they are outnumbered. Therefore, in that war, the Taoist sect also suffered heavy losses. Many Taoist sect heroes died on the battlefield."

"There are many people who share the same ideals, and no one even knows their names when they die."

"But I know that in the face of the enemy's artillery fire, not one of them took a step back."

After Xu Wen heard this, he felt deeply in his heart.

It is said that Taoism comes out of troubled times and hides in prosperity.

In that world war, there were indeed many Taoist priests.

Nowadays, there are still many old photos on the Internet of Taoist priests who went out to fight in the war.

In order to protect their homeland and country, they also sacrificed their own flesh and blood.

"That battle caused the Dao Sect to suffer heavy losses. So when the sealing conference was approaching, we couldn't find enough manpower."

"That year, only six or seven of our sects participated in the sealing conference, which is completely incomparable to the scale this time."

"And among them, there are only four of the five most important gates."

"They are the Pure Bright Way, the Taiyi Way, the Zhengyi Way, and the Quanzhen Way."

"Wudang was involved in the war and could not escape. Zhang Daozhang's master also died in that war."

After listening to what Mi Tushan said, Xu Wen could imagine how miserable it must have been back then.

You must know that nearly two hundred Taoist leaders came to this year's sealing conference.

But back then, only a handful of people came.

Mi Tushan continued.

"That year was the year when our Sealing Conference was at its weakest."

"My master even believes that just a few of them cannot seal the evil thing underneath."

"But they know very well that once the monster is born, the world will usher in an even more terrifying catastrophe."

"When the monsters come and there is a world war, I'm afraid humanity will be completely destroyed."

"So they had to bite the bullet and strengthen the seal."

"And when the sealing conference started, the leader of Jingming Dao, Jin, had already been seriously ill, and his end was approaching."

"What happened after that was just like what I just said."

"In the middle of the sealing conference, Master Jin suddenly became ill and died. There was a gap in his sealing formation, which made him the weakest point."

"At this time, Lu Daozi stood up and withstood the sealing formation, but he was not able to withstand it in the end because of his lack of ability."

"In the end, it was Lu Xuanji who stood up and withstood the formation."

"It can be said that it was a critical moment and we almost failed."

"That year, the Dao Sect was really too weak. But even so, we still kept the seal."

"So compared with that year, this year is actually pretty good. At least we still have so many like-minded people."

"Even if all our five gates disappear, I believe the remaining people will be able to hold up the seal."

"I believe everyone."

Mi Tushan's eyes filled with tears as he spoke, and then he burst into tears.

It can be seen that Mi Tushan really remembered the sad past.

Xu Wen was actually very shocked inside.

He didn't expect that Daomen had such a shocking past.

They have been silently guarding this land, although no one in the world remembers their contribution.

They still dedicated themselves selflessly and still regarded this sealing conference as their mission.

But Xu Wen knew very well that for Taoism, this was not a mission at all.

They are under no obligation to do so.

What they are doing is just protecting this land.

They are heroes!

Xu Wen is a person who is not easily moved, but at this moment, he was indeed moved by the great Taoist.

A hundred years ago, the whole world was in dire straits because of that absurd war.

Just for the benefit of conspirators, countless lives around the world have been wiped out.

But even so, the people in the Taoist sect not only have to join in the war, but also forget to guard the seal.

Because they know very well that once this seal is broken, the world will usher in an even more terrifying catastrophe.

They did a lot of things silently, but in the end these things were not known or talked about by others.

Although people in the Taoist sect keep saying that what they want is to be free from the world of mortals, what they want is to have a clear conscience.

But in Xu Wen's view, what they seek is the highest good as water, and what they seek is peace in the world.

In this world, there are always people who silently contribute and guard the world without you knowing it.

Perhaps, this is what Xu Wen has been pursuing.

"I see!"

"Thank you, Mr. Mi. With your words today, you let me know the other side of Taoism and also let me understand the greatness of our national religion."

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone ruin this sealing conference. This is my promise."

After Xu Wen said this, he turned and left.

At this moment, Xu Wen's heart was firm.

If we go there, we will encounter mountains of swords and seas of fire, but we will never get out.

…

"Old dog, go to the rice field area immediately to investigate the three murder cases at the Taoist Exchange Conference. I need all the information."

"Also, ask that guy Zhang Xiangdong to investigate for me all the recent missing persons in the rice field area, including all missing persons reports and the tracking investigation of some beggars."

"I want all of these things. Leave them in my office tomorrow morning."

After walking out of Daolong Lane, Xu Wen immediately called his deputy Gou Fugui.

This time, Xu Wendong was serious.

He has completely identified the real culprit, and now he is looking for evidence.

He may not be able to restore the murder process, after all, this murder was not committed by ordinary people.

It is impossible to restore the crime process.

However, Xu Wen is still confident that he will find out the murderer.
Chapter completed!
