Chapter 62. Behind the scenes
As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.
Whether it was the disciples of the various martial arts factions, or Yin Tianzheng and the others, they were all shocked, after all, the information in Lu Zhi's words was really too amazing.
There are countless amounts of gunpowder buried on the top of the light, and the army of the imperial court has set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the rabbit, no matter what kind of news, it is enough for them to pay great attention to it.
Emptiness, the five elders of Kongtong and the others subconsciously looked at each other a few times, and were silent for a few breaths, but the emptiness of Shaolin came out and gave a Buddhist gift to Lu Zhi with a single palm.
"Amitabha, Lord Lu, you said that there is a gunpowder trap buried on the top of the light, and there are court ambushes at the bottom of the mountain... But I don't know, where did you get all this news? β
Lu Zhi said: "The gunpowder in the secret passage of Guangming Ding is what I have seen with my own eyes, and the ambush of the imperial court under the mountain was investigated by the people sent by me Wudang. β
"βββSince a few years ago, I, Wudang, have discovered that in recent years, there seems to be an invisible black hand behind the scenes of the disputes and grievances in the rivers and lakes."
"In the past few years, I have secretly investigated this matter in the rivers and lakes on the orders of the teacher, and finally discovered.... Behind this is actually the Ruyang Mansion of the imperial court is making a hindrance! β
"There are many headless public cases in the rivers and lakes, and even the case of Xie Xun, who set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes more than 20 years ago, all have the calculations and secret hands of the imperial court behind them!"
"Including this time, the actions of the disciples of the major sects to encircle and suppress the Ming Sect Guangming Ding are actually the actions of the imperial court behind the scenes!"
As he spoke, Lu Zhi suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the Shaolin side, this time the major factions went to the top of the light, and it was their Shaolin Temple who took the lead.
"Master of emptiness, I have a question for you below, this time Shaolin contacted the major factions to encircle and suppress the Ming Sect, and the one who originally proposed and single-handedly promoted this matter should be the Yuanzhen Master of your faction, right?!"
Emptiness stretched a face, Lu Zhi's questioning made him have a bad premonition in his heart, Lu Zhi's questioning, it seemed that he was suspected of roasting Shaolin on the fire.
After all, this time the major factions encircled and suppressed Mingjiao, which was initiated by him Shaolin, if it was really as Lu Zhi said, there was such a big conspiracy in this matter, then how would the other factions think of him Shaolin?
Not even to say it, even the emptiness himself, he couldn't help but have a question in his heart... Among them in Shaolin, there will be no one who secretly cooperates with the imperial court and wants to harm the major factions, right?!
Emptiness quietly glanced at the reactions of the martial arts people of various factions, and saw that they were all looking at him, waiting for his reply, he couldn't help but look slightly bitter, and secretly sighed in his heart.
After settling down, he replied loudly: "The poor monk doesn't know much about this matter, but he is just ordered by the abbot to lead the team. β
"But why did Lord Lu suddenly mention my Yuanzhen master and nephew? Does he have anything to do with it? β
Lu Zhi glanced at emptiness and confirmed that the old monk really didn't look like he was pretending to be stupid with himself before replying.
"It seems that the Master of Emptiness doesn't seem to know the details of that Yuanzhen Master, he was also a well-known person in the rivers and lakes more than twenty years ago, and it was Cheng Kun, who was called the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt!"
"And he secretly has another identity, that is, the secret agent of the Ruyang Mansion of the Imperial Court!"
"What?! Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Cheng Kun?! Shi Huolong on the side couldn't help but exclaim.
Hearing that Shaolin Yuanzhen was Cheng Kun many years ago, the people of all factions present were very surprised, but Shi Huolong's reaction seemed to be a little too big, and many people cast questioning glances at him for a while.
Shi Huolong didn't want to arouse everyone's appetite, and after raising his hand and hugging his fists at everyone, he stepped forward and said loudly.
"You don't know, a few years ago, when Shi was practicing, he accidentally went mad, not only half of his body was disabled, but also almost all of his martial arts were lost, so he had to take his wife and daughter to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to heal and recuperate."
"Then, it was Cheng Kun, the Thunderbolt of the Mixed Yuan, who found my retreat with a traitor from my beggar gang, and wanted to take my family's life!"
"Fortunately, at that time, thanks to Qingzhi Xiaodao Chang passing by, he killed the traitor with one palm, and fought three times with that Cheng Kun, and the shocked Cheng Kun vomited blood and left, which allowed Shi's family to survive."
"I don't think so, that Cheng Kun is actually the Yuanzhen of the Shaolin faction!"
Even Shi Huolong, the leader of the beggar gang, also stood up to testify, and everyone no longer had much doubt about the identity of the real person.
"But I don't know, what did Cheng Kun do?" Someone asked.
Looking at what Lu Zhi meant, it is obvious that this Cheng Kun is definitely an important role, otherwise Lu Zhi would not have specifically mentioned his identity in such detail.
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, in the past 20 years, there have been many grievances and disputes in the rivers and lakes, and almost everything has the shadow of this Cheng Kun!" β
From the time he found Cheng Kun burying gunpowder in the secret path of Guangming Ding, and wanted to blow up the disciples of the major sects and everyone in the Ming Sect, and then he told the grievances between him and Yang Dingtian in front of the seven masters of the Ming Sect.
However, he also took care of the comments of those predecessors, and did not tell the bullshit between Yang Dingtian, his wife, and Cheng Kun, which can be regarded as saving some face for his predecessors.
Then he framed Xie Xun, deliberately let him set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, assassinated the Kongjian monk, and killed Xie Xun's hands, secretly attacked the major factions, and provoked disputes in the rivers and lakes...
One by one, one by one, many evil deeds done by Cheng Kun were publicized by Lu Zhi in front of the major factions.
At the end, Lu Zhi said again: "If you don't believe it, you can confront Na Chengkun face to face... Xiao Zhao, bring Cheng Kun out. β
He shouted in the direction he came, and the next second everyone saw a girl as delicate as an elf walking out of the mountain forest with a few rags hanging on her body, and came to the field.
"Yuanzhen Master Nephew!"
Emptiness instantly recognized Cheng Kunlai, and looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had been seriously injured by someone, and even his mobility had been lost.
Cheng Kun had already woken up at this time, and in the face of the eyes of everyone present, he just looked miserable, and his face looked even older.
"Master Yuanzhen, the poor monk asked you, Lu Shaoxia said before, but is it true? Is it really Xie Xun who you framed and secretly designed to kill Senior Brother Sorumi?! β
Emptiness asked.
Cheng Kun closed his eyes and didn't say a word, as if he didn't care about anything anymore.
"Cheng Kun." Lu Zhi suddenly said in a loud voice, "I know that you have the will to die, but have you ever thought that if you refuse to cooperate, then all your fellow martial arts practitioners will have to pursue and investigate the matter of the year to the end." β
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the name of the deceased person will not be able to be saved after his death."
When Cheng Kun heard this, he instantly opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Zhi with a complicated expression.
Of course, he could hear what Lu Zhi meant... That's right, although he doesn't care about these things at all, and he is not afraid of death, but his junior sister has been dead for so many years, and if he is still spurned and insulted because of himself, he definitely doesn't want to see it.
"Whew...," he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally spoke, "That's right, it was my apprentice Xie Xun who framed him, I killed his family of thirteen, and deliberately fell to death his son in front of him, in order to provoke him and let him go on a killing spree in the rivers and lakes." β
"He is my apprentice, I can't understand his character, I know that as long as I hide, then he will definitely try his best to force me out, deliberately using my name to slaughter martial arts people, which is also in my expectation..."
"My master is a monk who is a monk of Kongjian, and he was indeed killed by my design, because he knows my identity... If you have anything else to ask, just ask them as well. β
"My dantian has been abolished, my strength has been exhausted, and I can't hold it for long, if I have any questions, I will quickly ask, if I know, I will answer."
Cheng Kun obviously doesn't have much loyalty to the imperial court and the Ruyang Palace, and for him, everything he did in the second half of his life was just for revenge.
Now that his martial arts have been abolished, his life is not long, and revenge is hopeless, and he still wants to die with a secret like this, adding some trouble to various factions and Mingjiao, but Lu Zhi's words hit his death hole.
He was already sorry for his junior sister, how could he be willing to let her be poked in the back after her death, so it was better to simply cooperate with everyone and explain all those things clearly.
As for how much impact this would have on the arrangements of the imperial court and the Ruyang Palace, he didn't care.
