Mu Zixuan said: "Before I said that, I wanted to ask Mr. Hu Gongzi, Sun Changji and you both said that although your uncle Mr. Hu Bugui and Sima Zhenren are different from each other, they are friends with each other, so do you know whether this friendship is out of sincerity or calculation?"

Hu Li said with emotion: "Maybe there is no difference, my uncle and Sima Zhenren are both extremely smart people, for them, undisguised mutual calculations are the greatest sincerity to each other." Just like Mu Gongzi and I are calculating, but we also have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other, and we have regarded Gongzi as a good friend in our hearts. ”

Mu Zixuan said with a smile: "Haha, thank you Gongzi for your love, since this is the case, then I also said that this bureau was jointly laid out by Mr. Hu and Sima Zhenren." ”

Hu Li said: "I want to listen to what Gongzi has to say." ”

"Let's start with the Shangqing faction, among the five disciples of Sima Chengzhen, Li Hanguang is the chief disciple, regardless of knowledge and talent. Cultivation and prestige are the most outstanding, and he succeeded to the Shangqing faction as the next head of the teaching, which should be a matter of course, but it is a pity that he advocated the idea of breaking the dust and forgetting his desires, leaving the world and cultivating the Qing Dynasty, but he rebelled against the minds of most people, the Shangqing faction has been a royal sect since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, although it is a Taoist sect, but the prosperity and glory are not inferior to the princes, and the scenery is even worse, the door from the elders to the disciples are all brocade clothes and jade food and enjoyment, so that they can give up the wealth in front of them to regain the ethereal fairy road, how can they be willing. It just so happened that the second disciple Zhang Shouzhi was also ambitious, so he captured the hearts of everyone, and was supported by all the elders inside, and Zhang Shouqi was supported by the important minister outside, and then he was able to fight against Li Hanguang. And Sima Zhenren, who has the most decisive power, has always been unhelpful in this matter, and has been slow to establish a successor to take charge. ”

"However, the Shangqing faction is a heavenly sect after all, more than connections, but also more than cultivation, if the disparity in their own strength is too large, even if there are many people to support it, Zhang Shouzhi's position in charge of the sect will not be stable. Sima Chengzhen's longevity is approaching, and there is not much time left for Zhang Shouzhi, and it is almost impossible to surpass Li Hanguang in the short term with ordinary methods. ”

Hu Li interjected: "It's okay to exchange almost two words for it, Li Hanguang is notoriously difficult to measure, and the strength revealed on the surface is already a cut above Zhang Shouzhi, and no one knows how much strength he still hides." ”

Therefore, at this time, by chance, Zhang Shouzhi obtained a piece of information and learned the method of condensing the Yin Dan recorded in the "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", and only by forming the Yin Dan, the skill can be climbed to a level in a short period of time. Speaking of this, Mu Zixuan paused and said, "Hu Gongzi, you said, who is the person who is most likely to disclose this information to Zhang Shouzhi?"

Hu Li wrenched his fingers and said: "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed was banned from cultivation by the Shangqing faction, so not much can be known, except for my dead second uncle, as well as me, several older elders in the Shangqing faction, and Sima Chengzhen himself, but who is the most likely is impossible to assert." ”

"Okay, no matter who it is, let's continue to guess, with Zhang Shouzhi's identity, it is not difficult to steal the "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", and then he naturally cultivates diligently, and the more he cultivates, the more he discovers the wonders of the Yin Pill, especially its healing effect with the life Yuan Yin, even if there is only half a breath left, just need to dissolve the power of the Yin Pill to bring the dead back to life, at this time, Zhang Shouzhi has another guess!"

"It's just your baseless guess, and you have to guess other people's guesses......" Hu Li shook his head and said mockingly.

"Anyway, it's just a casual talk, why not?" Mu Zixuan continued indifferently: "Zhang Shouzhi knows that Sima Zhenren once went to the Western Regions, and was seriously injured in the process but came back to life, although he has not been able to recover his peak state, but he has also extended his life for more than twenty years. But the most critical point is how to bring the dead back to life, Sima Chengzhen has been secretive, and soon after returning to the Shangqing faction, he set the "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" as a forbidden volume to be sealed. In the past, Zhang Shouzhi may not know the reason, but after he condensed the Yin Pill and knew the divine effect of the Yin Pill, it would be different, Hu Gongzi, what kind of guess would you make if Zhang Shouzhi was there. ”

"You can guess by yourself, why drag me?" Hu Li replied helplessly, but under Mu Zixuan's gaze, he finally muttered and said: "The obvious thing has to be asked for me to speak, if I were Zhang Shouzhi, I would definitely think that Sima Zhenren had used a woman as a furnace to condense the Yin Dan, and relied on the power of the Yin Pill to pick up a life." ”

Mu Zixuan clapped his hands and said: "Good guess, if Zhang Daochang is here, he will regard his son as a confidant, Sima Chengzhen advocates calming his mind and leaving desire, but he cultivates the method of collecting and replenishing others and benefiting himself, and if it is passed on, it will definitely be discredited, Zhang Shouzhi can be said to have held Sima Chengzhen's handle, but it was not until two things happened that he decided to use this handle." ”

"Although I don't care about it, but in order to let Mu Gongzi continue, I still want to ask, what are the two things?" Hu Li said lazily

"The first thing, because of the trivial matter of the dispute between tongues, Sima Zhenren expelled Lu Zhixuan from the division, Lu Zhixuan and Zhang Shouzhi belong to the same faction, and their personal relationship is also very strong, Sima Zhenren's move is undoubtedly to change the style of not helping each other in the past, and made up his mind to set up Li Hanguang as the next head of the school, so in order for Li Hanguang to sit firmly in the future, he first cut off Zhang Shouzhi's arm. ”

"The second thing is the appearance of the red brocade girl, oh, maybe it would be more appropriate to call her Hu Qi girl, Hu Qi girl must have some kind of evidence that can identify Sima Chengzhen to condense the Yin Pill by collecting and supplementing it. In this way, with the evidence in hand, Zhang Shouzhi hurriedly took the red brocade girl to have a showdown with Sima Zhenren before the general trend was gone, but unexpectedly, this fell into the trap of Sima Zhenren and Hu Bugui. ”

As soon as Mu Zixuan's voice stopped at this point, Hu Li asked quite knowingly, "Oh, what kind of trap?"

"On the day of Sima Zhen's death, it should be such a scene, Zhang Shouzhi took advantage of the night to lead the red brocade girl into the Heart Cultivation Palace, presented evidence, and implied that Sima Chengzhen passed on the position of head of the sect to him. At that time, Zhang Shouzhi's face was holding the ticket, and he could really guess it with his eyes closed. But Sima Zhenren made an unexpected move - Sima Zhenren slapped his backhand and shook off his heart with the Heavenly Silkworm Xuanyin hand! Seeing this situation, Zhang Shouzhi was naturally in a state of confusion, and Sima Zhenren took this opportunity to drag Zhang Shouzhi into the Tianyin Sword Realm with the last divine thought, relying on the blessing of the Shangqing faction's formation. And Miss Hu Qi took advantage of Zhang Shouzhi's consciousness to be trapped, calmly left with evidence, and continued to pretend to be Princess Yuzhen. ”

The above is the layout of Sima Zhenren and Hu Bugui. As long as someone arrives after dawn, seeing this scene, they will definitely think that Zhang Shouzhi sneaked up on the killer, but he was dragged into the sword realm by Sima Zhenren's dying counterattack and could not escape the scene, and then he only needed to follow Sima Zhenren's injuries to find out Zhang Shouzhi's cultivation of Yin Dan. Zhang Shouzhi can be said to have seized both stolen goods and was arrested on the spot. ”

Hu Li said: "But ...... say so" Before he finished speaking, Mu Zixuan interrupted: "I know what Gongzi wants to ask, and listen to me continue to guess." This arrangement was extremely exquisite, but unexpectedly a variable that no one could have expected, that is, that night, He Guqiang also came to the Shangqing Temple, Sima Zhenren blessed the Tianyin Sword Realm with a formation, so that He Guqiang was also disturbed, He Guqiang only thought that this was Sima Chengzhen's challenge, so he defended the strong and broke the Tianyin Sword Realm, but he didn't want to help Zhang Shouzhi a lot, so that Zhang Shouzhi was also able to get out. ”

After Zhang Shouzhi got out, he naturally sensed the trap, but he also saw the opportunity very quickly, forged a suicide note of Sima Zhenren, admitted the past in the tone of Sima Zhenren, and arranged the scene to look like Sima Zhenren confessing and self-judgment, and then he was anxious to find the whereabouts of Hongjin, that is, Hu Qi's girl, and wanted to kill her, but how could he think that the person he was looking for had become Princess Yuzhen and stayed in Shangqingguan. ”

But Zhang Shouzhi's arrangement, obviously underestimated Sun Changji's respect for Sima Chengzhen, Sun Changji, as in the past, served Sima Zhenren half a moment before the morning drum beat to get up, but saw that scene, after witnessing the suicide note, Sun Changji also understood the real reason why Sima Chengzhen was seriously injured and came back to life, but he knew that if this matter was known to others, Sima Zhenren would be swept away, so he destroyed the suicide note, which also explains why there are clearly residual ink beads on the brush, but there is no letter left. Sun Changji changed the layout of the scene again, covered up Sima Zhenren's original injuries with sword wounds, and carved sword marks on the surrounding walls, creating the illusion that Sima Zhenren was killed in a sword fight. ”

"Then the plot is a mess, Du Ruzhi knows the hidden identity of the Duanfa monk, so he suspects the Duanfa monk, Duanfa is out of the instinctive fear of the blood rakshasa and insists that the murderer is the blood rakshasa , as for Zhang Shouzhi, his brain must have been a mess, so no matter who is the murderer, he will vigorously support it. ”

And Sun Changji, believing that Sima Zhenren would not suddenly feel guilty enough to commit suicide after many years, suspected that Siam Zhenren was threatened and persecuted, and the target of suspicion was naturally a Duanfa monk from the Black Sect. Sun Changji was reluctant to let go of the Duanfa monk, but if he pushed the Duanfa too quickly, so that the matter of Yin Dan was revealed, it would also tarnish Sima Zhenren's reputation, so Sun Changji did not stop doing it, killed the Duanfa monk, and turned everyone's suspicious eyes to the blood rakshasa who saw the beginning and the end. ”

"Everyone in the authorities only has one-sided information, has different likes and dislikes, and each has an unknown purpose, so with the information they have, they follow their own likes and dislikes, and make judgments and actions that are most in line with their own purposes, and finally make this flawed endgame into a more bizarre and tortuous mess! And Hu Gongzi, although the development of things is different from the original plan, but you are also happy to see, so it was not until it was out of control that you began to lead the situation back to the original plan, so with the help of my strength, I revealed the information I should know to me, so that I successfully accused Zhang Shouzhi of being the murderer, speaking of which, I was still used by Hu Gongzi. ”

Seeing that Mu Zixuan finally stopped, Hu Li raised his forehead and said: "Mu Gongzi has said so much, it's finally my turn to speak, then I'm going to start asking, Sima Zhenren has done so many twists and turns, what is it for?"

Li Hanguang laughed as if listening to a joke: "Haha, Senior Brother Ying, you said that Shizun is the source of all chaos, it is he who collaborated with the fox demon to arrange, and used suicide to design Zhang Shouzhi, making the Shangqing faction restless, if others listen to it, it must be a joke, even if the matter can be explained, Shizun must have a reasonable motive for acting like this." ”

Ying Feiyang ignored Li Hanguang's laughter, and said indifferently: "Sima Zhenren's motives, isn't the Taoist chief clear?"

Li Hanguang's laughter immediately stopped, and Ying Feiyang continued: "Everyone said that the Taoist chief is the person who has the true inheritance of Sima Zhenren, not only for cultivation, but also for realm, thought, and temperament, that Taoist chief once vowed to cut off the shackles of secular imperial power bound to the Shangqing faction, so that the Shangqing faction can return to the pure avenue, so is this vow also inherited from Sima Zhenren?"

The smile on Li Hanguang's face dissipated, and he said without waves: "Keep talking." ”

"When the dynasty will respect the Shangqing faction, from the tenth generation of the grandmaster Wang Yuanzhi was summoned by Emperor Taizong, the Shangqing faction can be called the dynasty of the protector of the country, that is, after the Empress Wu ascended the throne to suppress Taoism, and has never been ruthless to the Shangqing faction, today's saint to the Shangqing faction's courtesy, is to an unprecedented situation. However, the prosperity will turn to decline, Sima Zhenren traveled to the Western Regions, saw the Western Regions religions are numerous, countries are fighting, politics and religion are one, and the country is destroyed, the religion is destroyed, and personally participated in the battle between the sects of the Black Sect and the Sama Sect, Sima Zhenren has far-reaching knowledge, and is prepared for danger in times of peace, and thinks that the Shangqing faction will think of the same as Li Daochang - if the Shangqing faction wants to survive forever, it must break away from the chariot of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"But after a hundred years of accumulation, the Shangqing faction and the current dynasty are involved in countless things, how to uproot them one by one. And Sima Zhenren returned from injury, his life was not long, and his control over the Shangqing faction was greatly weakened, just from Sima Zhenren's expulsion of Lu Zhixuan and the unanimous opposition of the elders and disciples, this can be confirmed, and the situation is irreversible, Sima Zhenren will show the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, lay down this game, and finally, get the result he wants. ”

"After today, inside, Zhang Shouzhi is guilty of killing the teacher, and it is difficult to turn over, Du Ruzhi is implicated by his son, and he has no intention of fighting again, Lu Zhixuan was expelled from the sect, and all his disciples who advocate entering the WTO cannot inherit the position of the sect, Li Daochang, other elders can no longer stop your path, Sima Zhenren with his death, pulled out all the thorns on your road, and then, it is time for you to drastically pull the Shangqing faction back on the right track, and outside, Zhang Shouzhi practiced different methods, killed the master, and the ugliest and darkest side of the Shangqing faction was exposed in front of the emperor, and the emperor's favor for the Shangqing faction must have been greatly reduced。 Without Zhang Shouzhi, with Zhang Shouzhi and his brother Zhang Shouqi as the connection, the relationship network involving the elders of the Shangqing faction and the important ministers of the imperial court will also collapse, and the resistance from the outside world will be greatly reduced. Sima Zhenren's death was ostensibly a self-cutting of his hands and feet, but in fact, it was the removal of the abscesses and rotten flesh of the Shangqing faction!"

————————————————————————————————————

Linghu Villa, Hu Li sighed: "It turned out that it was a strong man who broke his wrist, you can really figure out the motive, but unfortunately there is no empirical evidence, otherwise I may really believe it." Hu Li and Mu Zixuan walked very slowly, but at this time they also came to the boundary of the villa.

Mu Zixuan sighed: "Mr. Hu Bugui and Sima Zhenren have joined forces to lay out, and there is a son-in-law to complete it later, but there is no empirical evidence below. ”

"In that case, what does Childe say about this, but does it still make sense?"

Mu Zixuan shook his head and said: "It's really not, it's just that I was used by my son and lost for a while, and I was unwilling, so I naturally wanted to get it back verbally." ”

Hu Li said with a smile: "The game is in the middle of the game, and it is just a fluke to take the lead, how dare you win, besides, I always feel that maybe I was used by Mu Gongzi." ”

Mu Zixuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't take advantage of it and sell it, Hu Gongzi, although you have all the keys to controlling the situation today, Mu Zixuan vows to get it back one by one, and next, please pay for it with all your might!

"With Mu Gongzi as an opponent, how dare Hu be careless, Mu Gongzi, go slowly!" Hu Li gave a long salute, and saw Mu Zixuan take Si Tiantai's people away and then turned back to the villa, and one person and one demon have gone against each other since then.

"Senior Brother Ying, whether Zhang Shouzhi is guilty of killing his master or not, he also deserves to die in your eyes, so does it still make sense for you to make these baseless speculations?"

"Meaning?" Ying Feiyang sneered and said, "Naturally, there is!"

ps: The year of Sima Chengzhen's death was also a year of change in the religious policy of Tang Xuanzong, from secretly favoring Taoism to formally proposing the juxtaposition of the three religions, and in his later years, he converted to Tantra.

Li Hanguang was quite cold in history, and the emperor repeatedly summoned him, but he repeatedly asked for his resignation and has been concentrating on cultivation, and later left Kyoto to go to the south to revitalize Maoshan Honzong.

Although this book is a shell of history, but when I move some historical facts, I suddenly feel that my blind break is more convincing.

Tomorrow is the end, and some supplementary explanations, talk about the creative ideas of the third volume, and then sort out the setting
