The so-called killing shocked the heresy at that time, originally Xia Shi did so, and the anger may have been only the iron-clad gate, but later he carried the Ding Jiaju to the imperial court in a high-profile manner, and was also given an official position, which is tantamount to betraying the entire heresy.

For this reason, the heretics sent Chenghuang to hunt down Xia Shi.

However, at the same time as the Alien sent out the City God, there was a contradiction, that is, if the City God succeeded, should the Ding Jia pot be recovered by them?

For this reason, the answer given by Tieyimen was to refuse, because the Chenghuang selected at that time was not the people of Tieyimen, but the two masters of Broken Jinmen and Huangquan. The Ding Jia pot belongs to the treasure of the Iron Cloth Gate, and if these two people have the heart to hide it privately, then all the previous efforts will be wasted.

For this reason, the heretical assembly decided to vacate a vacant seat in the city god and let the people of the Iron Cloak Gate accompany him, and the Tie Cloak Gate agreed. However, the first assassination attempt failed, and the two were killed by Xia Shifu and died under the knife.

Hou Zhenbang looked at He Changqing and said: "Actually, that assassination should have been successful, the master of the Golden Gate didn't know that the disciple of the Iron Sect who was sent to accompany him had already been signaled by the secret hall to kill him at a critical moment to save Xia Shi." ”

Therefore, when the master of the Broken Golden Gate sneaked into the deep palace and was about to succeed, he was seriously injured by the sneak attack of the people sent by the Iron Cloth Sect, and then was killed, and the disciple who sneaked up on him, after a brief meeting of eyes with Xia Shi, was deliberately defeated, so that Xia Shi beckoned to come to the forbidden army to guard and died under the knife.

When Wei Chi heard this, he was stunned, why did Tieyimen do this? Sacrificing his disciples again and again, just to protect Xia Shi who took refuge in the imperial court? No, it is to keep the Ding Jia pot, is it better to hand over the Ding Jia pot to the imperial court in its original position?

That assassination was just the beginning, and then the alien began to assassinate again and again, but because he was worried that there were too many people, he was regarded as a rebellion by the imperial court, and the number of people sent each time did not exceed four.

Xia Shi also kept shifting the position of the Ding Jia pot, causing the number of people sent by the different ways to fly into the air many times. In the end, Xia Shi took the Ding Jia pot to the moment when he returned to his hometown, and the emperor at that time also gave Xia Shi a large mansion for retirement.

During this period, Xia Shi had already used the power of the imperial court to build the Evil Suppression Tower and other places to hide the Ding Jia Pot, but the Alien Dao did not relax and decided to send killers to get rid of Xia Shi again, and the target was Xia Shi's Xia family compound.

He Changqing was puzzled: "Xia Shi built a place to hide clues, this kind of thing is easy to leak out, don't you know about it?" ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "Of course the heretics know, the news of the underworld is too well-informed, but at that time, the imperial court began to break ground all over the country, creating a maze array, so that the heretics don't know where the Dingjia pot will be buried in the end, in addition, for the heretics, their purpose is to get rid of Xia Shi, and finding the Dingjia pot is the Tieyimen's own business." ”

He Changqing understood: "The alien way can't, and they can't care about the whereabouts of the Ding Jia Pot, their purpose is only to kill the traitor Xia Shi, so Xia Shi can hide the Ding Jia Pot under the arrangement of the Iron Clothes Gate, and at the same time protect himself, in fact, Xia Shi finally died in the hands of the City God, right?" Otherwise, how could this matter have been settled? ”

Hou Zhenbang replied: "Yes, Xia Shi finally died in the hands of the alien way, of course the imperial court did not admit it, the emperor ordered a strict investigation of the matter, and the alien dao did not dare to speak out, after all, they succeeded, and it was pointless to publicize this matter." ”

Wei Chiran couldn't help but interject: "So, back then, a large number of heretics gathered in the Xia family's compound to assassinate Xia Shi, and in the end it was successful?" ”

It was not just a success, it was simply a massacre, and that so-called assassination attempt turned into a small-scale battle. For the first time, a large group of people were sent to surround the Xia family's compound and demand that the people inside hand over the Xia Shi, but they refused, and the Ming army closest to there at that time had to arrive three days later.

In a short period of time, the so-called defensive line they laid was breached, and the heretics easily occupied the Xia family's compound, followed by massacre.

Wei Chiran was surprised when he heard it: "Didn't you kill Xia Shi alone!?" Why kill other people? ”

Hou Zhenbang said two words for a long time: "vent anger." ”

Wei Chi shook his head and said, "Just to vent his anger? ”

He Changqing explained: "Xia Shi did not take a long time from defection to being killed, when he returned to his hometown, he was also very young, but the alien thought that he was humiliated, and this emotion was like blowing up a balloon and swelling more and more, and all his bad experiences were counted on Xia Shi, and even the grievances between the sects were all pushed on Xia Shi, and some contradictions with the court were also thought to be done by Xia Shi." ”

Hou Zhenbang nodded, and then told a surprising truth: "In fact, the different ways at that time have become a mess, taking the Tieyi Gate as an example, in order to compete for the position of the head of the sect, cannibalism has been many years, and other sects and factions have also fought each other because of their respective statuses and the contradictions accumulated in the past, this turmoil not only invaded the different ways, but also affected the entire rivers and lakes." In fact, Emperor Xuande died at the age of thirty-eight, and he reigned for only ten years. ”

Wei Chiran seemed to understand: "Wait, what does the senior mean is that Xia Shi's betrayal is actually for the sake of the situation at that time?" ”

Hou Zhenbang looked at He Changqing and said, "Your apprentice is not stupid, you can understand it at all." ”

He Changqing frowned, he didn't expect things to be like this, Xia Shi was betraying the Alien Dao on the surface, but in fact it was just a huge sacrifice made by the Tieyi Sect in order to stabilize the situation of the Alien Dao. If the situation of the different ways is unstable and the world is not peaceful, how can the country and the people be safe?

The Iron Cloak Gate sacrificed Xia Shi, making Xia Shi the target of everyone, diverting the contradictions, and no longer fighting against each other in the different ways, but targeting Xia Shi, thus calming the chaos of that decade.

He Changqing immediately raised a key question: "I think it's not just that, although the Ding Jia pot is very important to the Iron Cloak Gate, it is far less than the secret armor, right?" If you want to stabilize the situation, why don't you take out the secret armor in the first place? Instead, you want to take a Ding Jia pot? ”

Wei Chiran asked: "Senior, is there really a demon in the Ding Jia pot that can fulfill people's wishes?" ”

Hou Zhenbang shook his head: "I don't know, and I'm not qualified to know, only the Dharma Masters of the Secret Hall know the truth of the matter." At that time, I ostensibly made a mistake and was expelled from the Iron Cloth Gate, but the purpose was only to let me guard the Ding Jia pot under the Wuzhang Plain. ”

He Changqing asked: "Where is the Dingjia pot in Wuzhangyuan?" ”

Hou Zhenbang hesitated, but slowly shook his head: "You shouldn't go." ”

He Changqing said: "If we don't go, the lone army will go, is the iron coat gate willing to be protected by 517, or is it willing to fall into the hands of the lone army?" ”

Hou Zhenbang hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean, because that place, that place ......"

Wei Chiran looked at Hou Zhenbang's stumbling appearance and asked, "What's wrong with that place?" Dangerous? ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "That place is a semi-yin place, and none of the people who sent things in back then came out alive. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "What is the land of semi-yin?" ”

He Changqing got up and said: "The different ways think that the south is yin and the north is yang, but this place in Wuzhangyuan is considered to be the place where yin and yang meet, and the place of semi-yin is also what it means, so the specific location of the Dingjia pot should be in the south of Wuzhangyuan, right?" ”

Hou Zhenbang admitted: "Yes, it is indeed in the south. ”

He Changqing took out the map: "You point me the specific location." ”

Hou Zhenbang refused: "I have to go too, because that's my duty." ”

He Changqing looked at Hou Zhenbang: "You got the order of the secret hall?" ”

"Nope." Hou Zhenbang hurriedly denied it, "Uncle Shi, you saved my life back then, now it's time to repay the favor, and you can use me, there is a forbidden place for the living, if I don't go, the two of you will be more than lucky." ”

He Changqing refused: "No! Your body has decided that you can't walk with us, just let us know where you are. ”

Hou Zhenbang saw He Changqing's insistence, and looked at Wei Chiran again, Wei Chiran immediately shook his head, he couldn't convince He Changqing, and there was no place for him to speak here.

Helpless, Hou Zhenbang had to point to a location on the map: "It's near this reservoir, I don't know where the specific entrance is." ”

Wei Chi got up and looked at the map: "Won't it?" Diving again? ”

He Changqing put away the map: "Thank you, you can go." ”

Hou Zhenbang wanted to say something, but found that He Changqing didn't even look at him, so he had to leave.

Before leaving, Tuxing Sun looked at Wei Chiran reluctantly, and waved his hand at Wei Chiran when he closed the door.

Wei Chiran hurriedly asked, "Master, why don't you let Senior Hou go with us?" ”

He Changqing said: "Hou Zhenbang is too calculating, and he is very hypocritical, don't look at his respect for me on the surface, in fact, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely kill me." ”

What the? Wei Chiran was puzzled: "Aren't you kind to him?" ”

He Changqing sneered: "Knowing grace, it's good to know kindness, do you know why he was poisoned?" ”

At this time, Wei Chiran knew that the reason why Hou Zhenbang was not in good health was because he was poisoned. But what poison can last for decades without dying?

He Changqing said slowly: "Forty years ago, my country just announced the reform and opening up, China and the United States established diplomatic relations, everything is developing for the better, but the different ways are different, it can be said that they are scattered, and many people also abandoned their different identities at that time and returned to the life of normal people. ”

Speaking of this, He Changqing said with a smile: "I digressed, in fact, we received a request for help from Tieyimen at that time, asking us to rush to Qishan to relieve the siege." ”

Wei Chiran immediately asked, "Master, why did the Iron Cloak Gate ask you for help?" Who are you? Is it 517? ”

"No, it's not 517, our group of people was called Ghost at the time." He Changqing looked at Wei Chiran, "The ghost man no longer exists now, he is all dead." ”

The name Ghost Hero, the first time Wei Chiran heard of it, it didn't seem to belong to the profession among the twelve sects of the Evil Sect at all, and he had never heard anyone mention it before He Changqing said it.

Wei Chiran didn't know that the birth of Ghost Man originated from a rebellion.
