Xu Zun, who was eavesdropping outside, shuddered and suddenly felt his blood speeding up and his heart pounding.
He never expected that just when he was about to go to the holy capital of Xuanmiao City, he would discover such a shocking conspiracy?
"What did you say!?" Zhao Yu and As Xiuzai were also shocked. Zhao Yu asked, "What big thing are you going to do? Where is it specifically in Xuanmiao City? Who is the target?"
"Tell me quickly!" Ashuzai asked excitedly, "Tell me your stronghold in Xuanmiao City and your personnel list!"
"My lord, my lord... I am just an ordinary Xuanmen Taoist from Southwest Dao," Ye Hanchen said, "I am only familiar with the situation here in Yonghui and Shuzhou, but in Xuanmiao City... I really don't know!
"If I knew, I would definitely tell everything. I would also be anxious to make a contribution!"
"Southwest Road..." Zhao Yu tasted it for a while and asked, "What is the road to Xuanmiao City?"
"Zhongyuan Dao," Ye Hanchen replied with a grimace, "Those who can enter the Central Plains Dao are relatively powerful Taoists. My level is still not enough!"
Previously, through interrogation of Zi Jian Feishuang, Xu Zun already knew some levels of Xuanmen.
Xuanmen is divided into levels. The highest leader is called Xuanmen Tianzun. He is also the most mysterious figure in Xuanmen. No one has ever seen this person.
Below the Tianzun is the Holy Lord, who is also called the Holy Envoy. He is mainly responsible for delivering messages to all Taoist Lords.
Next is the Taoist. The Taoist has a relatively strong function. Everyone is responsible for the large and small affairs in their own area, and then acts according to the instructions above.
Ye Hanchen is right. Although the levels of Taoist Masters are the same, their strengths are also different.
Taoists tend to have stronger abilities the closer they are to the political center, because they are more dangerous there and their actions are more covert.
The side courtyard of Yonghui is desolate, so this Ye Hanchen is obviously not an important figure among all the Taoists.
Xu Zun judged that Lu Jinlong, the Changping Marquis of Shangyuan City, or Lu Jinlong's mother, Guanzhu Qinglan, must also be a Taoist-level figure.
Since Shangyuan City is a prosperous area, they are obviously much more important than this Ye Hanchen.
In addition, according to Zi Jian Feishuang's account, Yonghui was one of the birthplaces of Xuanmen, and it was indeed an extremely important base in the early days of its establishment.
However, as Xuanmen has grown stronger and has penetrated into the Central Plains, most of its functions have been lost except for collecting money, so it will be handed over to Ye Hanchen for management.
"The Taoists are independent of each other and have no contact with each other, so it is impossible for me to know the identities of other Taoists!" Ye Hanchen continued to confess, "I just heard the news mentioned by the Holy Envoy inadvertently by chance. They said that Xuan
The sect will make a big move in the Holy City in the near future, and the Great Xuan Dynasty will change..."
"What's the name of the Holy Envoy and where is he from?" Zhao Yu asked.
"I...I don't know!" Ye Hanchen replied, "When the holy envoys come, they will hold the token of the Lord, wear a veil, and speak in male and female voices.
"Moreover, in Xuanmen, if someone deliberately explores the identity of others, it will be a serious crime to be punished!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "Did they mention when they would take action? When did you get the news?"
"Oh, yes, yes," Ye Hanchen thought of something and said hurriedly, "I forgot to mention that this news was not told to me by the Holy Envoy himself, but I overheard it inadvertently!"
"Oh? Eavesdropping?" Zhao Yu and As Xiuzai looked at each other.
"No...but..." Ye Hanchen quickly emphasized his importance, "Just because it was overheard, the news will be more credible!"
"Tell me quickly," Ashuzai asked, "What's going on?"
"Half a month ago," Ye Hanchen replied, "the Holy Envoy was in Shuzhou to receive the annual gift. The Holy Envoy and his men were resting and waiting in the inner room, and I was preparing things for them in the next room.
“But they didn’t know that there were holes in the wall, and I heard everything they said in the room!
"That's how I heard the news," Ye Hanchen said helplessly, "So, I only know this much, you... you'd better take precautions!"
Tsk tsk...
Zhao Yu and As Xiuzai looked at each other and smacked their lips. It seemed that Ye Hanchen did have limited knowledge about this operation.
Next, the two conducted a routine interrogation of Ye Hanchen, asking him to reveal some secret information about Xuanmen.
Since this is the territory of General Jing Hui, there are naturally military interrogators nearby, who have already recorded the information Ye Hanchen confessed one by one.
Through Ye Hanchen's confession, they got a different version of Xuanmen.
Back in Shangyuan City, Tang Governor Shi Dong Wanxing once told Xu Zun the origin of Xuanmen, saying that Xuanmen emphasized the supremacy of power and control over the common people, and launched a rebellion in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which was later annihilated by Taizu Li Xuanzhen.
However, Ye Hanchen said exactly the opposite.
He said that Xuanmen is not a branch of Xuandao at all. The two are originally one. Xuandao is Xuanmen, and Xuanmen is Xuandao. It means the same thing.
Before the Great Xuan Dynasty, there was a terrible and chaotic era. At that time, various places had their own armies, warlords fought in melee, foreign invaders invaded, and the people suffered.
At the beginning, Xuanjiao was the first to rise. Fu Guandao and others used Xuanjiao teachings to create Xuandao, which then won over people's hearts and grew stronger day by day.
Later, Taizu Li Xuanzhen saw the opportunity and led his troops to join Xuandao. From then on, his strength increased greatly, and he wiped out all the warlord forces, drove out foreigners, pacified the world, and laid the foundation of the Daxuan Dynasty.
However, after pacifying the world, the first thing Li Xuanzhen did was to kill a group of Xuanmen leaders led by Xuandao leader Fu Guandao on the pretext of being assassinated by thieves. Only then could he take over the power and become the founding emperor of Daxuan!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he killed nearly ten thousand Xuanmen disciples under various banners, killing all the backbone Xuanmen who first helped him to pacify the world, so as to avoid future troubles.
Because of this, it is even more impossible for this matter to be recorded in history. It was deliberately concealed by the royal family, and future generations have no way of knowing it.
However, there are so many disciples of Xuanmen, how can there be no one left?
The Taoist disciples who survived that catastrophe became anonymous from then on, remembering that history and the hatred, enduring among the people for decades, working hard, and finally established a new Taoism.
Nowadays, their team has grown, and they have even taken advantage of the contradictions in the Daxuan Dynasty to recruit many high-ranking officials and princes into Xuanmen, preparing to fight against the Daxuan Dynasty to the end.
"Go to the upper level to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their original state. The upper level will cut off the nine sects, and the lower level will destroy the sycophants." Ye Hanchen read, "Mystery has its own way, and it is infinitely mysterious; if it has no way, it will lead to a disaster from heaven!"
"This...the purpose of these words is," Ye Hanchen said quietly, "no matter big or small, anyone who blocks us will eventually be destroyed by Xuanmen..."
