"I've read all the files, how's it going?"

Returning to the study, Liu Xin opened his mouth and went straight to the topic.

And Fang Zihang, who had just fallen into a trace of memory, had a cold killing intent in his eyes at this time.

"Although the case of the Black Knife Gate is a case of extermination, because it is a matter of the rivers and lakes, the court did not interfere too much.

At that time, Wuhou of Emperor Wu City did not have such a strong control over the rivers and lakes as he does now.

At that time, it was one of the eight affiliated sects of Emperor Wu City that was now in charge of investigating the Black Knife Gate case.

Bifeng Province. ”

"Bifeng Mansion I know, it is the first sect in Fujian.

My Black Knife Sect was subordinate to Bifeng Mansion before. ”

Fang Zihang said, but seeing the incomprehensible look on Liu Xin's face, his heart suddenly thumped.

"No, this is under the command of Emperor Wu City.

A famous sect! ”

"Nothing is impossible, the rivers and lakes are not black and white, and there are some gray forces."

Liu Xin did not go into much depth on this issue, but directly said everything he knew.

"Bifeng Mansion is inherited from the period of Emperor Wuyang. was originally a city lord of Bifeng Mansion in Fujian, and later returned to Emperor Wuyang, but he didn't want to become an official of the imperial court, so he became a force in the rivers and lakes.

In the rivers and lakes, Bifeng Mansion is also called the General's Mansion.

The four dragons have passed on their prestige to this day.

And because Bifeng Mansion recruits disciples in a certain area, it has a great regionality and is self-contained.

I don't get involved in too much of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Emperor Wu City unified the rivers and lakes, and Bifeng Mansion took the initiative to surrender, so the establishment remained intact. ”

Liu Xin talked eloquently, for the opponent of the Holy Sect, the secret investigation team also studied Emperor Wu City very thoroughly.

Including the information of the Eight Auxiliary Sects, they all know clearly.

This is also what Emperor Wu City is doing.

The Holy Sect and the Evil Sect must have also been explored by each other inside and out.

Therefore, everyone has some secrets about each other in their hands, but they just know it by heart.

"Sounds like an ordinary sect, senior brother."

Xiao Qi didn't find any anomalies in Liu Xin's narrative.

"That's what makes it so clever.

The eight auxiliary sects of Emperor Wu City are assessed once every two years.

The strength of Bifeng Mansion has always been at the bottom.

But just after the Black Knife Gate was destroyed, a peerless Tianjiao appeared in Bifeng Mansion.

Good at using knives, knife techniques, unpredictable, that year's eight major sects competition, Bifeng Mansion was only one step behind Kun Lizong.

Since then, it has been ranked second or third among the eight major sects.

Emperor Wu City has more inclined resources.

At the same time, the Bifeng Mansion and the Xingzhu faction are not in clear collusion, and they don't know how much dirt there is between the two sides.

And today's Emperor Wu City Acting City Lord Shangguan Dao likes Daomen alchemy the most. ”

"What does this have to do with Shangguan Dao's liking for Daomen alchemy?"

Xiao Qi asked if he didn't understand.

Fang Zihang was also puzzled.

They don't know what it does.

"Xiao Qi, if you can go back to the sect, you should go to the case library to read for a few months.

Especially the files of the covert investigation team, you look through them a lot.

The dossier of my Holy Sect is enough to give you a general idea of what this river and lake are like. ”

After Liu Xin taught Xiao Qi a lesson, he continued:

"Shangguan Dao is obsessed with alchemy, and the Star Sect was originally renamed the Five Poisons Sect, and the predecessor of the Five Poisons Sect was Daomen Alchemy."

"Now you know the possible relationship between the two."

Liu Xin looked at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi was furious by the eyes of his senior brother, but his head was still active, and he immediately understood.

"Are you saying that there is a connection between Bifeng Mansion, Shangguan Dao, and the Star Sect.

But what does this have to do with the Black Knife Gate? ”

Fang Zihang suddenly fell into deep thought on the side, but soon raised his head to look at Liu Xin, he wanted to see what Liu Xin said first, whether it could be confirmed with his own thoughts.

"We have to start from the beginning."

Liu Xin saw that the water on his desk was boiling, so he poured a glass for each of them.

This small tea stove was prepared for him by his aunt herself, saying that Liu Xin didn't like to be taken care of by his subordinates, so he could only buy some utensils and put them in the study for easy use.

This is the first time Liu Xin has used this tea stove.

"The history of the Black Knife Gate should be introduced by Brother Fang, right?"

Liu Xin threw the topic to Fang Zihang.

Fang Zihang pondered for a moment, nodded and began to narrate.

"The Black Knife Gate was originally under the command of Bifeng Mansion.

Bifeng Mansion helped Emperor Wuyang restore the country during the period of Emperor Wuyang, and for that battle, the two ways of the rivers and lakes temporarily abandoned the old grudges and fought side by side.

And the ancestor of the Black Knife Gate was originally a person in the Demon Dao, and he was the Tianjiao of that era.

Later, after joining Bifeng Mansion, he set up a killer team to hunt down the high-level officials of the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom.

For the sake of this team, the ancestor of the Black Knife Gate and Bifeng Mansion spent a huge amount of resources to create twelve black knives.

With the matching suitable weapons, the ancestor of the Black Knife Gate killed many strong people of the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom, and it was precisely because of the existence of the Black Knife that Bifeng Mansion made great contributions in front of Emperor Wuyang, and in the end, although he did not enter the court as an official, he was given a whole land to let Bifeng Mansion develop.

After that period, Bifeng Mansion became the first sect in the entire Fujian Province and entered its heyday. ”

After a pause, Fang Zihang took a sip of water, these histories are engraved in his bones, and now when he narrates, he seems to have returned to that era, and he is honored.

Xiao Qi listened quietly, what he liked most was to listen to these stories of the rivers and lakes.

"After more than 100 years of development, Bifeng Mansion has come to a bottleneck period.

The strongest in Bifeng Mansion was the Black Knife Army, and the strongest person in the Black Knife line at that time was the Dark Dragon General, one of the four dragon generals.

But because Bifeng Mansion belongs to the righteous path, it can't blatantly carry out assassination, so the originally strongest force has become the weakest.

In order to develop better, the city lord of Bifeng Mansion at that time ordered the Black Knife Gate to be separated from Bifeng Mansion and set up a sect on his own, which is the origin of the Black Knife Gate.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Black Knife Gate, there were only six people in the whole gate, and they were also one of the only six inheritors, and our clan was one of them.

The Black Knife Gate did not have the support of Bifeng Mansion, and under the leadership of the Dark Dragon General, the master of the Black Knife Gate at that time, the Black Knife Gate embarked on the road of hunting and killing demon warriors.

But in the process, the Black Knife Gate gradually declined.

And in one operation, the Dark Dragon will be discovered by the Righteous Path, he killed the Righteous Path Warriors, earning ill-gotten gains, causing the Black Knife Gate to be almost destroyed.

In the end, only the weakest Fang Clan lineage remained.

Later, it was the period of the greatest decline of the Black Knife Gate, and the righteous rivers and lakes didn't even know that there was such a force as the Black Knife Gate.

It's just that in my grandfather's generation, he was an old man with great talent, and he modified the exercises of the Black Knife Gate to make it less extreme.

The Black Knife Gate has finally risen again.

Bifeng Mansion saw that my Black Knife Gate was rising, so I came over to re-woo it, wanting to merge the Black Knife Gate into Bifeng Mansion.

But how could my grandfather agree, for decades, the Black Knife Sect has been in a state of suppression, its reputation is not obvious, and there are even fewer disciples under it.

After my grandfather died, my father wanted to develop the Black Knife Gate, so he took refuge in Bifeng Mansion.

Since then, the resources of the Black Knife Gate have been restored, and they will no longer be suppressed.

At this time, my black knife door still has eight black knife handles.

My father took in seven disciples, and I was the elder brother.

Unexpectedly, the talents of the senior brothers are very strong, and the eight senior brothers including me have successfully entered the Dacheng realm.

After that, I was invited by Bifeng Mansion to explore an ancient martial arts ruin, but by the time I returned, the Black Knife Gate had already been destroyed..."

In the end, Fang Zihang's eyes dimmed again.

"Brother Fang, didn't you find a problem?"

Liu Xin's words made Fang Zihang raise his head suddenly, not knowing what the other party meant.

Xiao Qi was also confused.

"The Black Knife Gate has experienced ups and downs, but it has never risen all at once!"

Fang Zihang's words were like a thunderbolt in the darkness, which lit up the dark sky with a dry click.

"You... What do you mean? ”

Fang Zihang faintly caught something, but he didn't seem to catch it.

"The first rise of the Black Knife Gate was that the ancestor of the Black Knife Gate established an assassination team with the help of Bifeng Mansion.

This was true in the context of the circumstances and resources at the time.

After that, there was a long period of stability, and even if there were ups and downs, it was not big.

The decline in the middle of the Black Knife Gate was because of Bifeng Mansion.

So what about this time?

The sudden rise of the Black Knife Sect, and the promotion of all eight disciples of your father to the Dacheng Realm, do you know how many resources are needed?

Your father must not have told you how much it would cost you to raise you.

The reason why the number of Dacheng Realms in the rivers and lakes is scarce is not because of talent.

The promotion to Dacheng realm is just to open up the second vein of appointment and supervision, but in fact, there is not much threshold.

But it stopped countless people, and the reason for this was because of resource problems.

There are enough resources to allow martial artists to receive training from an early age and improve their physique, so that the meridians will not be so fragile when they impact the second pulse of Rendu, and they will explode when they rush.

More than ninety percent of the martial artists in the world do not have that resource. ”

Fang Zihang fell silent, indeed, as Liu Xin said, he never paid attention to how much resources his father poured into several people.

He had always taken it for granted and was a matter of course.

Only Liu Xin, the senior brother of the Holy Sect, knew that it would take resources to train a martial artist.

Because as a senior brother, the basic matters of cultivation are arranged by him.

The Sect Master of the Holy Sect is essentially the administrator of the future Holy Sect.

As a manager, it is impossible to only know cultivation, and the level of a person's cultivation cannot guarantee the strength and prosperity of a sect.

Therefore, Liu Xin knew how many resources it would take to cultivate a high-level martial artist.

Take Xiao Qi as an example, at the beginning, Xiao Qi was not promoted to the Dacheng Realm.

When planning resources, the value of Xiao Qi's cultivation resources was far lower than that of several others.

Needless to say, he couldn't even estimate the cost of cultivating him in the sect.

The master gave him how many treasures that could not be counted, otherwise how could he already be able to compete with a person who was a generation higher than him in the rivers and lakes at this age.

As far as the people themselves are concerned, even if there is a gap in talent, it will not be so huge.

When everyone is born, they are a meat ball a few pounds in size, and there is a gap, just like that.

The gap in the final combat power of the warrior still depends on the comprehensive ability.

When Liu Xin said this, Fang Zihang had already realized the problem.

But he can't figure out everything now, but Liu Xin is different, he has experienced one sect annexing another.

And now the relationship between Bifeng Mansion and the Black Knife Gate seems to have the same meaning.

"I think that the rise of the Black Knife Gate in your father's generation must be inseparable from Bifeng Mansion.

It was even planned by Bifeng Mansion behind the scenes.

But I'm not sure yet, I need to know what you're doing now, the third, fifth, and sixth of the Black Knife Sect.

That's information that I can't get here.

Although Jin Yiwei and the Secret Investigation Team have recorded the case of the Black Knife Gate's extermination, they have not investigated in depth.

So I need your intel for the next step of analysis. ”

At this time, Fang Zihang had already been completely convinced by Liu Xinxin, but he didn't expect that he could analyze so many things just by relying on these files.

Although he was obsessed with these files before, he more often recalled them while reading them.

Most of what is written in the dossier is what he knows, and it is also the most basic content.

"Actually, I only know the situation of the four of them, the fifth and sixth, and I know a little about the third, but I don't know the details.

As for the eighth child, I know the least about his situation. ”

"Now that the situation of the Black Knife Eighth is clear, he has joined the White Lotus Sect and has become one of the four missionary envoys.

It's just that it's already been ambushed, so there's no need to discuss it. ”

Fang Zihang nodded, his palm already rubbing over the scabbard of the black knife.

"Let's talk about the fifth and sixth first.

The two of them should now serve under the command of the Fujian Provincial Commander, and it is said that the sixth is already a commander and the fifth is under him. ”

"A senior brother serving under the command of a junior brother?"

Xiao Qi felt that this story was worth listening to, and at the same time, his eyes swirled on Liu Xin from time to time.

Liu Xin felt that his junior brother should repair it, otherwise he would not be able to open the roof for three days.

"The sixth child is more lively and sociable.

The fifth is a stuffy gourd, but the relationship between the sixth and the fifth is very good, and the two seem to be originally the same clan.

The sixth is a descendant, and the fifth is a side branch.

So in the past, in the Black Knife Gate, it has always been the fifth child who takes care of the sixth child, and the fifth child is like the sixth servant. ”

"The relationship between your brothers and sisters is really weird."

Xiao Qi frowned just by hearing this, such a brotherly love was what he hated the most.

How can brotherly feelings be mixed with something else?

Just like their brothers, their identities and statuses are different.

But several of them never explored the question of their own identity.

But in the process of getting along, even if you are as young as Xiao Qi, you can also find the gap in other people's identities.

For example, the elder brother whom they all respected, he was just an orphan.

But the identity of the second senior brother Xiong Er is different, and his father is already a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes by then.

If the relationship between the senior brother and the second senior brother is placed in the Black Knife Gate, the senior brother becomes the character of taking care of the second senior brother every day.

Even the other senior brothers are far inferior to the second senior brother in terms of status, and the second senior brother has become the one with the highest status among the senior brothers.

If this was the case, Xiao Qi felt that he would definitely not be able to stand it and run down the mountain.

But fortunately, among their brothers, Xiong Er never said his life experience, although he was arrogant, he made good dishes.

When he was in the mountains, Xiong Er would often hunt some wild game in the mountains under the pretext of going into the mountains to practice guns.

When they brought it back, they would say that they just happened to encounter these prey, and they sent them to the muzzle.

Then he began to skillfully peel the skin, and cook a delicious meal for all the brothers and sisters.

At this time, the relationship between everyone is very harmonious.

And the brothers of the Black Knife Gate seem to have their own estrangement.

"Maybe they were originally the geniuses that Weng Bingliang forced into your Black Knife Sect.

And at that time, including your father, they would think that the Black Knife Gate had ushered in the time to rise.

They all thought that the talents of these disciples recruited were amazing.

But in fact, in your grandfather's generation, there weren't so many geniuses all at once. ”

Fang Zihang thought back at this time and found that it was indeed the case.

His grandfather's talent and strength far surpassed that of his father.

Standing in my grandfather's generation, the Black Knife Gate is indeed a withering talent.

But they have always attributed it all to Weng Bingliang's suppression of them.

Fang Zihang's father once thought that it was his own decision that made the Black Knife Gate rise.

"But I have a question, my Black Knife Sect is a small sect, what is there to covet Weng Bingliang?

It's worth it for them to pay such a big price and lay out for so long. ”

"Maybe it's not because you have some treasures in the Black Knife Gate that attracted Weng Bingliang.

It's purely because of the general trend.

Weng Bingliang may just need an obedient black knife door, or he just wants to have the power of a black knife.

But they don't want this force to exist alone. ”

"Senior brother, your words are a bit around me."

Xiao Qi scratched his head, although his cultivation was good, he was still too young in terms of dealing with people.

There are some things that he can't understand even if he says them.

Fang Zihang was different, he had already faintly thought of something.

"I'll tell you about a similar case.

The Kunli Sect, the strongest of the Auxiliary Sects of Emperor Wu City, was originally just one of the six major sects in one place.

Later, the reason why it was able to become the head of the Eight Auxiliary Sects was because it annexed the other five sects.

Nourished it with the heritage of the other five sects, making his strength skyrocket layer by layer.

Eventually, we got to where we are now. ”

"So my Black Daomen, like those five Chinese, was annexed by Weng Bingliang."

Fang Zihang said in disbelief.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.

If this is the case, the object of his revenge will become a huge sect force.

Weng Bingliang is definitely not something that he can deal with as a casual cultivator and a somewhat famous guy among the mountain bandits.

Seeing the gloom in Fang Zihang's eyes, Liu Xin comforted.

"You don't need to face an entire sect, you just need to find the murderer who really killed your Black Knife Sect.

So I need you to continue to talk about the situation of the third child. ”
