Chapter 86 Guide to the Construction of Secret Sects
Legend has it that before the founding of Daqian, gods and demons roamed the world, monsters were raging, and the lives of human beings were like grass.
Thousands of years ago, a young man from the human race rose up with a sword. He learned the supreme skill from nowhere, and killed the powerful demons so that they did not dare to take the lead, making even the powerful gods and demons marvel at him.
From then on, this young man continued to teach his unique skills to the human race, calling it martial arts, which greatly improved the overall strength of the human race, and he was also revered as the Martial Ancestor.
Three hundred years later, Wu Zu passed away at the end of his life.
Among his direct disciples was a peerless genius named "Tianfang" who surpassed the realm of the Divine Sect at the age of only thirty, and had extremely extraordinary charm and leadership, and eventually founded the first dynasty of the human race—— Great work.
Later, Emperor Tianfang divided the core area of human life into Kyushu, and at the same time continued to sweep away the demon clan, expand the living space of the human race, and created the foundation of the nineteen states in the Central Plains today.
This made the gods and demons begin to take the human race seriously, and Daqian gradually formed a state where humans and gods coexisted.
The origins Duheng set for the secret sect are related to this period of history.
After studying the information of various sects in this world, he discovered a pattern.
As a sect, it’s not like we should trumpet our origins as loudly as possible.
For example, the Zhou Tian Sect, claiming to be the great emperor who ruled over all the star gods in the ancient times, came and sent thirty-six star gods to save the world.
This is actually ridiculous. If he is really the emperor who rules the heavens, why would he care about the change of dynasties in the world?
In comparison, Homecoming Sect is more down-to-earth.
It is only claimed that Taiyin Suyue Tianzun is a strong man from the true hometown of the human race, so he can lead the human race back to its homeland.
Therefore, Duhem feels connected to a piece of history.
At the same time, a doubtful point in this period of history is solved——
In other words, where did "Martial Ancestor" learn this supreme skill?
The answer is the leader of this secret sect, the identity Du Heng himself will play.
This is an extremely ancient strong man from the human race. By imitating the power of gods and demons, he created a set of cultivation methods suitable for the human race, which is martial arts.
By chance, he glimpsed that the human race would encounter an extremely huge disaster in the future, so after imparting his unique skills to Martial Ancestor, he proclaimed himself a secret method and entered a state of sleep.
It has only been in recent years that it has awakened and prepared for a catastrophe.
The Five Elements God actually found a few people with good qualifications after he woke up. With a little guidance, he gave them the strength to surpass the Shenmen realm.
As for how to resist this catastrophe, it is related to the destruction of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Jin and Dacheng, the unification of the nineteen states in the Central Plains, and the creation of a unified country.
In this way, it perfectly fits the steps of condensing the "Longhu Mountain" Tao Seed.
Of course, this information and purpose cannot be explained directly. They must wait for the members of the sect to "accidentally" discover it or "guess" it themselves.
This is undoubtedly more convincing.
In addition to these "background" settings, the most critical thing is how to make the people who are drawn into the Taoist Palace have a sense of identification with the sect.
Although this method of directly pulling people into the Taoist palace is enough to shock people, if there are no tangible benefits, it may be difficult to retain people's hearts.
Even if they manipulate these people and control their life and death, they still cannot do things for this sect on their own initiative.
As for what this benefit is, Du Heng already has a clear plan.
Step by step, show the benefits that can be obtained in this secret sect bit by bit, so that members can always look forward to the future, so as to capture their hearts.
Even if it's just the first step, it's a temptation that every warrior can't refuse.
"The script has been written, we just need to recruit sect members." Du Heng, who had just come out of the Taoist Palace and experimented with another spell, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He was even looking forward to the start of the Tianjiao Banquet.
…
Pingjing City, Qi Gongfu.
Tian Yan hurried back from outside with excitement on his face and went directly to his father's study. Then he saluted respectfully and said, "Father, all the witnesses and evidence you asked the child to find are ready."
"Well, you did a good job." Tian Xing, who was practicing calligraphy, put down the brush in his hand and nodded slightly, "Now that everything is ready, let's announce Xu Jing's identity at the Tianjiao Banquet."
"Ah? Do you want to announce it directly?" Tian Yan asked with some doubts, "Father, do you plan to directly capture Xu Jing at the Tianjiao Banquet? Over at Chunyang Temple..."
"Old Taoist Xie Cang has been unable to break through the divine gate for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it." Tian Xing said calmly, "As a father, we have now reached a very critical moment. We will not allow any extraneous matters when leaving the capital this time. We should let these secretly rebellious sects stand in line as soon as possible.
It’s good.”
"I see, I understand, kid." Tian Yan suddenly realized, "You are not just here for Xu Jing, he is just your entry point into this chess game. The real purpose is to let these sects express their attitude."
"That's right." Tian Xing nodded, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "If you want to save Xu Jing, it is treason and should be wiped out. If any sect stands idly by, it is acquiescing to our capture of Du.
Heng, completely break with Ni Zhou and can only stand by my side."
"Father's clever plan is perfect!" Tian Yan praised, "After this banquet, the world will be peaceful."
"For the sake of the common people in the world, I have to make plans." Tian Xing sighed, his expression showing a bit of compassion.
…
On the first day of March in the sixth year of Chonghe, Du Heng came to Pingjing City with his master Lin Qinghe.
The Tianjiao Banquet will be held on the third day of March. As a rule, you have to arrive two days in advance, and then make some preparations for the banquet. You can also visit some familiar friends in advance.
However, both Du Heng and Lin Qinghe knew very well that the purpose of this banquet was probably not simple, so naturally they had no intention of wandering around.
But they don't have this thought, but others do.
Chu Jiu found out about Du Heng's residence from somewhere, and came over early in the morning without meeting Du Heng. He only left a greeting note and asked the innkeeper to give it to Du Heng.
"When we parted ways in Jinxia Mountain in the past, I often recalled my junior brother's swordsmanship. Now we are attending the banquet of the geniuses. I also asked my junior brother to compete with me at the banquet to prove the level of each other's swordsmanship."
Du Heng looked at the words in the greeting card and was in a daze, feeling quite complicated.
This feeling is a bit like when you are preparing to secretly subvert the imperial court, and suddenly a primary school student comes over to compete with you to see who can add and subtract faster.
That's ridiculous.
However, Chu Jiu's arrival also let him know that almost all the people invited to attend the Tianjiao Banquet should have arrived.
Du Heng put away the invitation and thought to himself,
"It's time to use the Dao Palace to explore the potential and qualifications of these people, and initially screen which people to bring in."
