Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 57: Heavenly King Lao Tzu (I)
rì Yuejiao, in fact, is the Ming religion of the previous dynasty. In the Ming Sect at that time, the first to respect the leader. The second is the Messenger of Light, the Four Great Dharmas, the Five Scattered People, and the Banner Masters of the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, a total of seventeen masters are the leaders of the sect.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty with the help of Mingjiao's Liliang and ascended the throne as emperor, but in turn listed Mingjiao as a cult and severely cracked down. Mingjiao had no choice but to split this Ming character and call itself the Rì Moon God Cult instead (of course, people outside the sect still follow the old rules and still call it the Demon Sect).
After this great change, the organizational structure of the church has also changed. The Sect Master and the Left and Right Messengers of Light remained unchanged, but the Four Great Dharmas and the Five Scattered People were revoked below, and there was no Five Elements Banner. It was changed to Heaven and Earth Hall, Wind and Thunder Hall, Qinglong Hall, White Tiger Hall, Vermilion Bird Hall, Xuanwu Hall, Gochen Hall, Snake Hall, Hanzhu Hall, and Hedgehog Hall, a total of ten halls. Each congregation has one elder, and the total is the ten elders.
In the rì Moon Sect, the leader of the sect is the supreme of the first sect, and he will never go out when he is idle. The left and right messengers of light are the right-hand men of the sect leader, assisting the sect leader in managing internal and external government affairs respectively, and rarely participate in battles. Therefore, the people who have the most dealings with the righteous path led by the Wuyue Sword Sect in the rivers and lakes are these ten elders.
More than 80 years ago, the Rì Yuejiao attacked Wudang Mountain at night and snatched the sword "Zhenwu Sword" that Zhang Sanfeng used with him when he was in his prime, and a handwritten "Taijiquan Sutra" at the same time. Although there were casualties on both sides, the Sword of the Sutra finally fell into the hands of the Rì Moon Sect and was unable to regain it. This is a great shame for the Wudang faction, for more than 80 years, each generation of heads left a testament before their deaths, and they must have taken back this sword. However, the Black Wood Cliff has a strong barrier, and the Wudang faction has captured the thieves several times, but they have all returned in vain, but they have sent a few xìng lives on the Black Wood Cliff every time.
In addition, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, two Huashan disciples, peeked at all the parts of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the Putian Lower Courtyard of Shaolin Temple, and compiled the fragments into a book. After this news leaked, the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect attacked the mountain in a big way to seize the Sunflower Treasure Book. The remaining four factions of the Wuyue Sword Sect came to support, and most of the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect were seriously injured and left.
However, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were both killed in this battle, and the fragments of "Sunflower Treasure Book" were also taken away. Five years later, the Ten Elders made a comeback because they had benefited from the Sunflower Treasure Book. This time, they all thought of how to crack the jīng in the swordsmanship of the Wuyue Sword School. The Wuyue Sword Sect really suffered a big loss, and the master Qi Su suffered heavy casualties, and many jīng wonderful swordsmanship of the Five Sects have been lost and annihilated since then. It's just that the ten elders of the Demon Sect are not allowed to leave Huashan. The martial arts they used to break the swordsmanship of the Wuyue Sword Sect have also been lost since then.
The battle between the Rì Moon Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect had been decades ago. The Ten Elders of the Rì Moon Sect have also changed many times. The ten elders who are now in power are Tong Baixiong, Jia Bu, Shangguan Yun, Bao Dachu, Qin Weibang, Wang Cheng, Sang Sanniang, Qu Yang, and two others, surnamed Ge and Du. Among them, Tong Baixiong is the undefeated hardcore henchman of the East. At that time, Dongfang was undefeated and ascended to the throne, and many people in the church were not convinced. It was Tong Boxiong who overrode the public opinion and suppressed the opposing voices one by one, and Dongfang was undefeated to sit firmly on the throne of the sect leader.
After Dongfang was undefeated and sat on the throne of the sect leader, he had Jihua eradicate those old people in the era of letting me go one by one by various means. Or set it up in the air, or denounce it, or simply kill it by the hands of righteous people such as the Wuyue Sword Sect. After vacating the position, the newcomer was promoted to the position. After more than ten years like this, the younger members of the sect, and even before the Rì Yue Sect was undefeated in the East, they had no idea who had ever been the sect leader. It seems that the Rì Moon Sect has been established for hundreds of years, and from ancient times to the present, there has always been only one Eastern undefeated leader.
Since the general trend in the sect is like this, although Xiang Wentian is still the right envoy of light, he is essentially idle and scattered, and he has no power at all. He is also intellectual, and usually stays at home, living in a simple house, and does not ask much about the affairs of the church. On the surface, it seems that he is willing to live his life forever. But Xiang Wentian, nicknamed "Tianwang Laozi", was also a bold and unruly character when he was young. Therefore, Dongfang Undefeated has never been completely at ease with him. Because of this, outside Xiang Wentian's mansion, no matter at night, there will always be people secretly watching closely.
The sect leader sent someone to monitor the right envoy of light, and this kind of thing is not very glorious to say. Although anyone with a relatively high status in the sect knows about this open secret, it is impossible for ordinary members of the church to know about it. All they knew was that the mansion of the Right Envoy of Light was located near the city gate in the south of Pingdingzhou County, and that's it. In fact, if Heimu Cliff is compared to the imperial palace, then the county seat of Pingdingzhou is the capital of the capital. Not only Xiang Wentian, but the other ten elders also placed their families inside and outside the county seat of Pingdingzhou.
Therefore, it couldn't be easier for Chen Sheng to find Xiang Wentian. He just left the inn and walked around the street a few times, then saw an opportunity to grab a rì Moon Cultist, restrain him and bring him back. Then, he had already prepared and stood in front of this Rì Moon Sect disciple called Tea Seven Points, and casually sprinkled a few Jiao, and fascinated him on the spot. Horse Monkey Shochu asked again, and Cha Qifen immediately poured beans like a bamboo tube, and said everything he knew.
Although I know where Xiang Wentian lives, it's not dark yet, so it's hard to start. At that moment, Chen Sheng knocked out the tea seven points, and then tied him firmly with hemp rope, stuffed a towel in his mouth, and threw it to the corner of the wall to put it, while he went to bed to rest as if nothing happened, and raised jīng to accumulate rui for the night to explore the heavenly mansion. Ye Yongxing and Su Ziling saw that there was nothing wrong, so they naturally went back to sleep together and didn't mention it.
As soon as the team slept like this, it was a full three or four hours. After it was all dark, everyone got up and washed. Then I went downstairs to the lobby and had dinner. Chen Sheng put down his chopsticks, pretended to eat and walked, and walked out of the inn casually with Yibu in his arms. Leave Su Ziling and Ye Yongxing alone.
The inn is in the southwest of Pingdingzhou County. It's not too far from Xiang Wentian's house. Chen Sheng walked quickly, and it didn't take long for him to reach the ground. Looking closely, I saw that this was a small mansion with two entrances. There is a plaque hanging on the black lacquer gate, and the lantern hanging under the eaves emits a dim light, illuminating the word "Xiangfu" very clearly.
Chen Sheng nodded, and instead of immediately moving forward, he took a few steps back and hid under the shadow of the street corner. Although when he interrogated the tea seven points before, the other party did not know that the right envoy of light was being watched by the night of the person. But the "Booming Fight" team is familiar with the original plot. According to common sense, it is normal for someone to be watching, and if no one is watching, it is called abnormal. And the warrior brought Ibu out with him, precisely for this.
Reaching out and rubbing it on Ibu's head a few times, the warrior whispered, "Eevee, go!" "Let go and let it land. The clever pet Jīng Ling understood exactly what this meant, and immediately let go of his four paws and walked away. In a matter of moments, it had already run around the house, ambushing how many spies there were...... and so on, all kinds of situations have also been checked clearly. Then it ran back again, its little paws writing and drawing on the ground, and told Chen Sheng all the information it had detected.
Chen Sheng groaned slightly, and quietly moved to the northwest corner of Xiangfu. Grabbed the wall, pressed it hard, and jumped up to the wall. The rì Moon Sect disciple who was originally ambushing here to keep vigil and monitor Xiangfu suddenly saw someone flying up the wall, and he couldn't help but be shocked on the spot. Before he could stand up and shout loudly, he suddenly heard two consecutive sharp and rapid sounds of "Xiu~Xiu~" breaking through the wind. The sect's eyes were black on the spot, and they didn't know anything.
Chen Sheng nodded, and he was also very satisfied with his flying locust stone skills. He stepped forward with a bent waist, stripped off the night suit that the Rì Moon Cultist had been knocked out of by him, and put on a black mask, revealing only his two eyes. After dressing up, he took advantage of the opportunity of a dark cloud floating in the night sky to cover the moon, jumped over, climbed over the wall of Xiangfu, and entered it gently and skillfully.
As soon as he hit the ground, the warrior immediately pressed his body against the wall and looked up left and right. I was thinking about Xiang Wentian, I don't know which house I live in. Suddenly, I heard someone in the east wing room say: "Boss Dong, the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" you brought this time is indeed the authentic work of Fan Kuan of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yes, yes, it's a good thing. Immediately afterwards, a typical businessman's voice laughed and said: "Xiangyou likes it, then it's best." After working hard, I got this painting from the Nanjing garrison, and it was not in vain. ”
Since he is called xiangyou, there is no doubt that the person who spoke before must have asked the sky. Chen Sheng's mind was shaken, and he immediately walked quietly to the window of the east wing, holding his breath and listening attentively to the people in the room. There was a rustling sound, which seemed to be made by the scrolling of the paper scroll. But he heard Xiang Wentian sigh: "Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Mountains and Streams", Zhang Xu's "Frank Post", and Liu Zhongfu's "Vomiting Blood" are all treasures in the world. Boss Dong was able to find it for me one by one in three years, and this ability is really great. ”
Boss Dong said with a smile: "My ancestors all ate this line of food, and after a few generations, they naturally accumulated some contacts." It's nothing either. It was an honor to be able to work a little for Xiangyou. ”
