Chapter 232: Hu Zongxian's Death
It is recorded in the brief history of martial arts that there were once three parts of the world on the rivers and lakes, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference headed by Murong Baiyun, the Guanlong Martial Arts led by Guanlong Li Boyang and the Southwest Martial Arts led by Tangmen in Shuzhong, and the three major martial arts alliances were the strongest in Jinling Murong Villa.
Thirty years ago, Murong Baiyun destroyed the Tang Gate in Shuzhong, and after integrating Guanlong Wulin, he unified the rivers and lakes. The Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle was too lethal, and Murong Baiyun ordered the map of the killing weapon to be burned, but he kept a part of the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, which was originally going to attack the Demon Sect's chief rudder Putuo Mountain, but it was unexpectedly defeated, and then Murong Villa was destroyed, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference was changed to the Martial Arts League, and these Rainstorm Pear Flower Needles were nowhere to be found.
Now that Murong Villa has become the helmsman of the Martial Arts League, the pear flower needle is most likely to be mastered by the Jiangnan Martial Arts League. The current Wulin League is no longer what it used to be, and there is an even more powerful force behind it, and that is the Hero League.
Thinking of Xie Donglai who met in the palace last night, whether it was the theft of the palace last night or the siege of the six gates, it was very likely that the Heroes League planned it. I was shocked that even the Sihetang and the Nether God Cult could be controlled by the Heroes League, or used by them.
After Meng Yue was robbed last night, there was no news of Xu Ruonan. And Sihetang is the end of the year, after last night's action, I haven't reported to the helm, but I don't know what happened. I asked Lao Sun Toudao, have you ever heard of the Martial Arts Alliance?
Old Sun Tou was slightly surprised and said, Do you also know the Wulin League?
I said that I have been in the rivers and lakes for a year and a half, don't let me be a newbie who has just debuted, okay?
Lao Sun Tou smacked his dry cigarette, and then said slowly, I won't tell you, our six doors have long discovered the existence of this organization, and the reason why seven doors were established last year was to investigate this hero alliance.
Lao Sun Tou continued, this Hero League is extremely hidden, and has done several big cases on the rivers and lakes, and we only learned about the existence of such an organization by chance. A few years ago, Six Doors launched a crackdown on the rivers and lakes, which was a test of this organization.
I have a deep understanding that at that time, Lu Zhongyuan led the six gates to almost stir up the entire rivers and lakes, and even the six major sects such as Shaolin and Wudang avoided one after another, and in addition to participating in some martial arts exchange forums in recent years, he rarely interfered in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, obviously knowing the intentions of the imperial court.
It was precisely because of this crackdown that our business of stealing the Holy Gate fell into a cold winter, I was still young at the time, but it can be seen from the food that there were originally three meals a day and meat for two days, and in those years, even the winter had to rely on practicing dormant Dafa to survive, and the second senior brother and the fifth senior brother were even shut down, and finally the master spent a lot of money to fish them out.
What's even worse is the thief of the fairy gate, the chrysanthemum ancestor Li Qingyi was almost served to the pot because of his inappropriate remarks on "Xiaosheng Jianghu" during the sensitive period, if it weren't for the relief of Ximen blowing the lamp, a group of gods would have starved to death.
I asked, what did you find?
Old Sun Tou shook his head and said, We have very little information, the Hero Alliance is originally a loose organization, and the leader of this alliance is also a divine dragon, and all orders are issued through the six messengers. Not to mention the leader of the Hero Alliance, even the six major envoys have seen very few people. I don't know about the six major sects, except for the Nether God Cult, almost all the other sects obey the orders of the Hero Alliance. The Heroes League has two major military divisions, one is Xie Donglai, and the other is Li Shishi, you must have heard of it.
It dawned on me that last year's Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference united several sects on the rivers and lakes to attack Fengyun Island, and the person who threaded the needle was Master Li. Presumably, this is also a lesson for the Heroes Alliance to not obey their orders from the Nether God Cult, but they didn't expect that the alliance forces of the various major factions would be so vulnerable, not only did they not capture Fengyun Island, but instead caused Fengyun Island to retaliate even more frantically.
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, could it be that the Hero Alliance is related to the former emperor Zhu Wuneng? In the whole world, only he has the ability to gather so many forces, and even the three major Kou obey his command, and even have a place in Neizhuang, but the Zhu Wuneng imprisoned in Donghua Gate and Zhu Wuneng in Neizhuang are not the same person?
This Hero Alliance is so powerful that I began to worry a little about Xu Ruonan.
I asked what kind of ability this Hero Alliance has to make the various major factions bow down?
Lao Sun Tou said, it is nothing more than fists and silver. No matter what time it is, the strategy of gold dollar and stick will never go out of style. This Hero Alliance leader's martial arts are extraordinary, and even the Great Empty Temple has been played with by him.
The three hidden sects of the rivers and lakes, Longhu Mountain, Dakong Temple, Langya Pavilion, among them, Longhu Mountain is the most famous, Langya Pavilion is the most mysterious, and the master is the Dakong Temple. There are four great King Kongs, eight protectors, and six worlds to walk, although hidden, just take one out, can set off a storm on the rivers and lakes.
Heavenly Sword Xu Kaishan broke through the realm in Thousand Buddha Mountain, and only then could he defeat one of the protectors. The sword god Feng Wanli fought all over the world on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't dare to go to the Dakong Temple to cause trouble easily, which shows the strength of the Dakong Temple.
When the Dakong Temple was stolen, it was just suspected that the Tongshan Temple would have almost caused a storm in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for Zhang Youqian's cheap master Liu Qingfeng to intervene, I'm afraid that the Tongshan Temple would have been bleeding a river.
The Great Empty Temple, which is so powerful, has no power to fight back in front of the Hero League?
I express my doubts, the deadwood Zen master of the Great Sky Temple has practiced closed-mouth meditation for thirty years, and his martial arts are mysterious, don't even he dare to provoke the League of Legends?
Old Sun Tou said lightly, then you are talking about the past. According to the information we received, last year, the leader of the Hero League went to visit the Great Empty Temple, and talked to the Deadwood Zen Master for a night of tongue twisters, and forcibly said the Deadwood Zen Master as a chatterbox. The three great treasures of the world, the treasure of the wind and the moon, the coffin of the soul, the relics of the heavens, the treasures of the wind and the moon can know the ancient and modern, the coffin of the soul can come back to life, and the relics of the heavens can dominate the world. The League of Heroes released rumors that they wanted to take the three treasures for themselves.
Ximen Blowing the Lantern is now going to the East China Sea with the two senior brothers to find the soul coffin, if this is the case, I am beginning to worry about the safety of the two senior brothers. As for Simon blowing the lamp, I don't worry, he has never encountered any wind and waves, and when he smells danger, he slips faster than a rabbit, and even pits a few senior brothers many times.
The urgent thing at the moment is to find Xu Ruonan and his party quickly, if Meng Yue is really in their hands, they have to remind her to be careful.
I said that this Hero League is too ambitious, if this is the case, who else in the world can help them? If there is, only that Mr. Qin on the Stygian Mountain.
Lao Sun Tou said, the brine points to tofu, one thing drops one thing, this is not something you and I have to worry about. The top priority is to find Meng Yue, otherwise our six doors may not have a good year. As for the League of Heroes, when Zhang Youqian returns, I suggest that you go to the Great Empty Temple, and maybe you can find some useful clues over there.
Zhang Youqian has been investigating the treasure of King Qi for nearly a month, and it is estimated that it is almost time to come back. This capital, without him, feels a lot more boring.
As for the treasure of King Qi, I am more inclined to a legend, if Zhu Kuaibo, the king of Qi, really had this treasure, the rebellion would not have been so passive back then, and it was quelled in less than half a month, and he ended up with a laughing stock that had not yet exerted his strength.
After camouflage, he returned to the Sihe Hall, but found that the chief helm of the Sihe Hall had gone to the empty building, and there were only a few unaware peripheral hall members, who didn't know anything. However, the major industries under the Sihetang are still running as usual, and the same is true when I go to the White Tiger Hall.
I think it's a little strange, but it doesn't take long for the six doors to find out about it, and if they stay here, they will definitely fall into the net. Now that the major gates of the capital have been blocked, the streets are full of secret agents, and there is only one place where these people can hide: Neizhuang!
But only people with very high authority know the location, although I have been there once, but I was blindfolded, and if there is no one to lead the way, there is nowhere to be found. And the Nether God Cult's house was also covered with a layer of dust, covered with cobwebs, as if no one had ever lived in it.
Suddenly, it seemed like all the clues were broken.
After the court meeting, the emperor convened several old study rooms of the cabinet, Jinyiwei, Dengwen Yuan, and six doors to deliberate. Immediately afterwards, martial law was declared in the entire capital, and all New Year's celebrations were canceled, on the grounds that a spy from Fanbang had stolen the secrets of the imperial court, and informed the people that if anyone with suspicious whereabouts was found, there would be a heavy reward for reporting to the imperial court. Although the people of the capital were dissatisfied, they were not satisfied, and the emperor's life was as big as the sky.
In addition to the five city soldiers and horses, the forbidden army (twelve guards), the Jinyi guard, and the six gates are also stationed to strictly check the people entering and exiting, in addition to maintaining the transportation of water, food, vegetables and other necessities to maintain the operation of the capital, the rest of the people must be approved by the competent authority if they want to enter and leave the capital.
As a result, the entire capital was put on first-level alert. Prices in the capital began to skyrocket, especially for necessities, and the prices rose ridiculously. This has made a windfall for the smugglers and the relevant authorities who have the power to approve the regulations. The person responsible for investigating and handling this case was none other than Xie Shiting, the new head of the household department.
The emperor was very suspicious, he thought that if he could commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven and disappear without a trace afterwards, there must be forces of the imperial court involved, or deliberately connived at them. Xie Shiting has been in Beijing for a short time, and the task of investigating the case was naturally handed over to him.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, under the leadership of Xiao Dingyuan, the commander of the forbidden army, and Lu Bing, the chief rudder of the Sihetang and the eighty-two halls inside and outside were sealed, and the major industries under its jurisdiction were also closed, and the four prisons in the capital were overcrowded.
In this way, my career in Sihetang also came to an end, and our six doors also joined the interrogation team along with Jinyiwei and Dengwenyuan.
I was busy for three days in the dark, and apart from memorizing a bunch of useless confessions, there were hardly any useful clues.
However, things soon changed.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Hu Zongxian, who had been imprisoned in the capital in disguise for half a year, hanged himself.
