Tang Zilin said: "At the beginning of March this year, our sect had some property sales matters to discuss with the Bashu Chi family. Our ancestors sent Tang Feiyu, his direct disciple, to Chengdu to handle the matter, but he happened to catch up with Chi Siyuan, the head of the Chi family.
At the ancestor worship ceremony, the killers of Tianzhu appeared to assassinate them. Chi Siyuan could not escape the disaster, and Tang Feiyu was also killed."
"Tianchu" assassinated Chi Siyuan in the Chi family ancestral hall in Chengdu. It was Li Hu's "Xunli Group" who did it. Tang Feiyu also died under Li Hu's hands, although he did not know the other party at the time.
Hua Bushi was very clear about his identity as a direct disciple of the "Sichuan Tang Sect" and for self-defense. However, at this moment, he didn't say much. He just opened his eyes and looked at Tang Zilin, waiting for him to go.
Let’s talk about it below.
There was no strange color on Tang Zilin's face. It was obvious that he was unaware of Li Hu's killing of Tang Feiyu. He then said: "Tang Qianyu, who was killed by 'Tian Zhu', was the nephew of his ancestor and his biological father.
, it was Tang Tiexin who had participated in the medicine-seeking trip to Qionglai Mountain. Tang Tiexin had been dead for many years, and Tang Qianyu was twenty-three years old this year, unmarried and had no brothers. After this accident, the ancestor ordered his disciples
I went to his residence to collect his belongings and found an autographed letter left by his father Tang Tiexin, which also contained a very old map."
Hua Bushi said: "Could that map be the path map of the Immortal Cliff in Qionglai Mountain?"
Tang Zilin said: "Yes, although it was not obtained by Master Bao Hong, the elder of the Wudang Sect, it was drawn by Tang Tiexin according to the original drawing. The painting was extremely detailed. It is no different from the original drawing.
And the content of Tang Tiexin’s handwritten letter even revealed a secret story about his family’s thirteen-year journey to find medicine.”
"It turns out that the nine masters of the five sects did not really find the Immortal Cliff. On the seventh day after they entered Qionglai Mountain, they followed the secret map and found the legendary location. The cliff is located on an extremely steep terrain.
On top of the peaks, the road is covered with snow all year round, making it extremely difficult to walk. However, there are several Tibetan tribes below the peaks. The nine of them stayed in the tribes for one night and started climbing early the next morning.
When I finally climbed to the top of the fairy mountain,"
Hua Bushi said: "Oh, then have they found those elixirs?"
Tang Zilin smiled bitterly and said: "The Immortal Cliff is not covered with exotic flowers and grasses like the legend, such as thousand-year-old snow lotus, and the formed Shouwu doesn't even have a shadow. It's just on the top of the mountain.
But they saw a fortress built of white stone, and before they could get close, they were attacked by a group of masked men. After a battle, they were all captured."
Hua Bushi said: "Aren't the nine people who went to look for the elixir all top masters in each sect? Even if they were attacked, how could not even one of them escape?"
Tang Zilin said: "Tang Tiexin did not write down the specific circumstances of that battle in the letter, but I think those masked men must have strong martial arts, and they had already set up an ambush, so that the nine of them could be killed in one fell swoop.
capture,"
Hua Bushi rolled his eyes and said: "So, they really fell into someone else's trap. I think those rumors about the elixir were also deliberately fabricated to lure them into the trap."
Tang Zilin said: "That's exactly what happened. After the nine people were captured and taken to the fortress, they realized that it was the people from the devil's path who set up such traps."
Hua Bushi said: "Since the people in the demonic path have designed to capture them, they don't just want to kill people. I heard deputy sect leader Tang said before that they all returned to their sects later."
Tang Zilin said: "The reason why the demonic path didn't kill them is because they have a deeper conspiracy. Back then, the 'seven sects' joined forces to form an alliance, which was enough to influence the general trend in the world. Neither the demonic path nor the demonic path had a chance to develop and grow. Therefore, the other party This kind of arrangement is to break up the alliance of the 'seven sects', and these nine people are the pawns used by the devil."
"These nine people were captured in the fortress, their acupuncture points were sealed and their martial arts were prohibited. The people in the demonic path used various methods to torture them. Tang Tiexin couldn't bear the pressure and was forced to join the demonic path. It is really a shame for the sect,"
Hua Bushi said: "So, all nine of them have become guests arranged by the devil in various sects."
Tang Zilin said: "That's not necessarily the case. The nine people were detained separately in the fortress. They didn't know each other's situation. Among them, there were those who surrendered like Tang Tiexin. I think there would be some who would rather die than surrender. In short, After being imprisoned in the fortress on the cliff for seven days, all nine people were released. The condition of their release was that they all had to swear an oath to keep the secret of the Immortal Cliff and never tell anything about what they saw and experienced on the cliff. Inform others,"
Hua Bushi nodded and said: "Decent masters value reputation and trust, not to mention being captured is a shame. The devil forces them to swear an oath of secrecy. Let them go back temporarily, but it will be less likely to arouse suspicion than killing them, and it will be better for cover." For those who have taken refuge in the demonic path, as time goes by, especially when the demonic path takes action, there is no guarantee that these people will not become vigilant and tell what happened that day."
Tang Zilin said: "For this event, the Demonic Way had already expected it. When they were released that day, all nine of them claimed that they had not agreed to join the Demonic Way. Within half a year of returning to the sect, four of them died one after another due to various accidents. They died suddenly. They must have been those who refused to surrender that day, so they were killed and silenced by the devil. Subsequently, conflicts arose among the 'seven sects', and many conflicts and fights broke out. From then on, the alliance of the seven sects was broken and gradually formed. To end the current tripartite situation,”
"Now that I think about it, the reason why the alliance of the seven sects broke down was because they were picked by others. The reason why our sect had an enmity with the 'Wudang Sect' was that several of our sect's properties in Hubei were occupied by the other side. But back then, The person who dealt with this matter was Tang Tiexin. Later, the three factions of Shaolin, Putuo, and Huashan gradually became close to the "Five Kings Party" in the Ming Dynasty, while Wudang and Kongtong were attached to the "Eunuch Party". The conflicts between the various factions The opposition was also affected by the party disputes in the imperial court, and the contradiction became even more difficult to reconcile."
It turns out that there is such a secret reason for the disharmony within the seven sects. After hearing this, Hua Bushi thought deeply in his heart. The devil planted five high-ranking guests in these sects. , is the direct cause of the breakdown of the alliance of the seven factions, but as the most powerful Bai Dao clan in the world, there are already conflicts between the "seven sects" competing for fame and wealth. If not, it would not be so easy for those to be separated. You can get it.
As the person in charge of the "Tang Clan in Sichuan" among the seven sects, Tang Zilin attributed all the reasons for the breakdown of the alliance to the conspiracy of the devil.
He sighed slightly and said: "Those five people can be said to be the main culprits of the endless fighting among our seven sects over the years, but they did not get a good end. Back then, on the Immortal Cliff, the demons had planted a ban on them. They had to take the antidote regularly to save their lives. In fact, the antidote they took could not control the toxicity for a long time. After the devil's trick of destroying the alliance of the seven factions succeeded, these five people also died of the poison one after another. Compared with the four people who were assassinated by the devil before, they only lived three or two years longer."
Using drugs to control people in the world is a common method used by demons. Hua Bushi still remembers the incident where the "Wealthy Alliance" forced the leaders of the sects in Yujing to swallow the "Xiong Dan Bao Xin Pill".
The eldest young master pondered: "So, the conspiracy of the Demonic Way back then was written down in the last letter by the elder Tang Tiexin of your sect."
Tang Zilin said: "Tang Tiexin was the last one to die among the five. After he learned the news of the death of the other four, he knew that the poison was about to attack and his life was not long. He also felt guilty for what he had done. He just wrote that suicide note and put it together with the map he drew back then. He only thought that after his death, his son Tang Qianyu would hand it over to the sect, which could be regarded as his confession and atonement. However, he could not have expected that Yes, although Tang Qianyu saw the suicide note and pictures, he kept them secretly until many years later when they were found out because he was accidentally killed."
He paused slightly and said: "Tang Qianyu is the third-generation direct disciple of our sect. His martial arts have been passed down by his ancestors and he is highly regarded by the sect. If his father Tang Tiexin's betrayal of the sect and his embrace of the devil's path is revealed, Even if he can still stay in the Tang Sect, his status and future will be greatly affected. No wonder Tang Qianyu hid his suicide note and pictures without informing the sect."
Hua Bushi said: "More than ten years have passed since the incident, and the person involved has long since died. For the 'Sichuan Tang Clan', wouldn't it be better to hide this matter forever and not let outsiders know about it? As it affects the reputation of the seven sects, I don’t know why Deputy Sect Master Tang told me about this matter."
Tang Zilin's eyes narrowed and he said: "Now that we know the tricks of the devil, I, the 'Sichuan Tang Sect', are not just a sect that only knows about fame and reputation. It doesn't matter even if this matter is exposed, of course there is another one among them." The reason is because our sect intends to cooperate with the 'Evil Dog Sect' to jointly fight against the evil demons,"
Hua Bushi's expression changed, and he said: "Nowadays, the demonic way of controlling the 'Baolian Sect' is so powerful that everyone in the world is afraid of it. Your sect really wants to become its enemy."
Tang Zilin looked at Hua Bushi and suddenly laughed, saying: "Young Master Hua doesn't need to test with words. There is no doubt about the power of the devil. If he doesn't offend me, we really have no intention of fighting against him. It's just that With the current situation, a battle between our sect and them is inevitable,"
Hua Bushi said: "Oh, I would like to hear the details."
Tang Zilin said: "In recent years, the Demonic Dao has secretly expanded its power in Sichuan. Many gangs have been secretly controlled by it. Our sect has long been aware of it. Previously, they probably had some scruples about our 'Sichuan Tang Clan', mostly in The area of eastern Sichuan and Hubei has developed, but starting from this year, it has extended its minions to central and western Sichuan. Especially after Chi Siyuan was assassinated in Chengdu, more than half of the Chi family's property has been seized by the devil, and the city of Chengdu is our Tang Dynasty. The foundation of the sect must not fall into the hands of the devil, so this sect has no way out,"
