Chapter Fifty-Six: The Secret of the Smelling Fragrance Sect
Seeing Liang Zilong retreating, Gao Jie quickly came to the pergola of the blacksmith shop and woke up the unconscious Liu Zongmin.
You must know that Gao Jie, the "miracle doctor of Li Jiqianzhai," was not given for nothing, and his methods were already very powerful! Next, he took out a small dark red pill and told Liu Zongmin to eat it, and soon, Liu Zongmin would be able to get up and stand.
Just now, Liang Zilong entrusted the big one, thinking that he would first finish Li Guoyong, and then arrest Liu Zongmin into the sect, and let the sect leader eliminate the last hidden danger with his own hands, so as to invite merit, so the internal strength was just collected immediately. Liu Zongmin looked badly injured and fell to the ground in a coma, but in fact there was no major problem, with Gao Jie here, he would only need a few days of recuperation to recover.
After Gao Jie dealt with Liu Zongmin's injury, he was about to come to see Li Guoyong's situation, but found that the Void Master Taizheng was standing quietly in front of Li Guoyong, his eyes were cold.
Li Guoyong was seriously injured, and he thought that he would definitely die, but the peak turned around, and everything that happened just now made him feel like he was going to die after the catastrophe. He not only witnessed the duel between Gao Jie and Liang Zilong, but also saw the three stones of the Pure Sky Master Tai to drive away the "Blue Eagle" Liang Zilong, and his heart was full of gratitude and awe for this old nun. Now seeing her come to the front, regardless of the serious injury, she struggled to the ground and said, gasping: "Thank you master for rescuing Li and the apprentice Zong Min, this grace is unforgettable!"
The Void Master's face was as cold as ten thousand years, and he pondered for a long time, Fang said coldly: "Li Guoyong, take a good look at who I am!"
When Li Guoyong heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and stared at the Clearance Master, and carefully studied it for a long time. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and his voice trembled: "You...... Are you Sister Xu Mei?!"
The Void Master didn't answer his words, but just muttered to himself: "If your brother Hongru was here, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago!"
Li Guoyong's face turned pale, he collapsed on the ground, and two lines of old tears flowed down.
Liu Zongmin saw his master's abnormality and was about to step forward to ask, but was silently dragged by Gao Jie and shook his head at him.
Among the three elementary schools, Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie have the best relationship, because Gao Jie is also a poor hunter, from a humble background, similar to him. Since his parents were forced to death by the government, Liu Zongmin planted the seeds of revenge in his heart, and had a hatred of the rich similar to that of later generations. Not only did he have a grudge against being an official and a soldier, but he was also dissatisfied with celebrities who were wealthy or had some status. Although he thinks that Li Hongji and Li Guo are good, their rich family backgrounds have made Liu Zongmin unable to be close to him like brothers. Only Gao Jie, who is one year younger than himself, is from a poor middle peasant, and his witty words and righteousness make Liu Zongmin very convinced. So when he saw Gao Jie shaking his head, he stayed where he was, quietly listening to the conversation between Gao Jie's master and his own master.
Li Guo sat silently for a long time with old tears, and suddenly laughed madly, laughing and pulling the injury, he couldn't breathe, and after a violent cough, he coughed up a lot of blood in his mouth.
Li Guoyong ignored it, and hissed at the void master: "Sister Xu Mei, the life experience is really mysterious, I think that I Li Guoyong was also a glorious person back then, arrogant and arrogant people, one wrong step, and it will be doomed! After betraying the master, I knew that I was guilty, and I hid incognito in a remote place in the countryside, lingering for a long time, who knew karma, today I was not only found by the people of the third son, but also rescued by you, the eldest sister, what a great irony!"
When Gao Jie heard this, he learned that the master's name before he became a monk was Xu Mei, and it seems that the master and this Li Guoyong should be very familiar at that time!
The Void Master was expressionless, and said lightly: "Poor Ni Buddha Clearspace, the name Xu Mei no longer existed decades ago. You deceived your teacher and destroyed your ancestors back then, betrayed you Wang Sen, and there are countless people in the Smelling Fragrance Sect who want to take your life, and you can escape to this day, you can be regarded as capable!"
Li Guoyong's eyes were hollow and blank, and he muttered to himself: "Deceive the teacher and destroy the clan, yes, I, Li Guoyong, am a sinner who deceives the teacher and exterminates the clan through the ages!
The Void Master said in a stern tone: "You know that you deserve to die, why do you want to live?!Didn't you have the best relationship with the third prince back then? Why is it that it's been almost ten years, and the people of the third prince are still pressing on you?!"
When Li Guoyong heard this, the muscles on his face trembled, and his heart was very entangled, thinking of all kinds of things back then, the chaotic emotional struggles and entanglements, under the serious injury, he couldn't stand it, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Gao Jie couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him treat his injuries first, Li Guoyong waved his hand again and again, and said to Gao Jie weakly: "Thank you little brother of the Gao family, I have been seriously injured in the past ten years, and it is God's mercy to live for so long! Today, under the blow of Liang Zilong, the old disease was triggered, and the injury was added to the injury, even my senior brother and the divine doctor Xu Hongru came and couldn't save it, I know this very well in my heart! I don't have to trouble Brother Gao Jie!"
Gao Jie looked up at his master, and when he saw that the master of the clear space was too silent, he shook his head silently, signaling that what Li Guoyong said was true.
Gao Jie sighed in his heart, and then stood up gloomily and returned to Liu Zongmin's side.
Li Guoyong adjusted his breathing again, and said to the Void Master with difficulty: "Senior Sister Xu, is my senior brother okay?"
The Void Master said hatefully: "He has been obsessed with you for so many years, and he hates to avenge the master with his own hands, do you think he is good?!"
Li Guoyong cried bitterly and said: "Senior brother, I regret that I should not have listened to you at the beginning, coveted wealth and nobility, and mistakenly believed the words instigated by Wang Haoxian, so that I made a big mistake!
The Void Master looked at him with disdain, and said coldly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! You betrayed Wang Sen, betrayed the master, and what does it have to do with Wang Haoxian, do you still expect me to let you go?"
Li Guo shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I know my current injury, even if you let me go, there is no cure! Originally, I still wanted to hide in the wilderness, and after I died of old age, I would bring the earth-shattering secrets of the year into the loess, who would have expected that the third prince would be so vicious, and he had never given up the search and pursuit of me for ten years, in a vain attempt to kill people. In that case, I, Li Guo, am about to die, and I should also tell that secret! Third son, you never expected this kind of result! Hahaha!"
Li Guoyong laughed again, then crossed his legs on the ground, leaned against the wooden pillar in the bunk, and intermittently told a big secret of the year.
Wang Sen, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, was originally one of the famous leaders of the White Lotus Sect, but because the White Lotus Sect was suppressed by the imperial court, coupled with the fact that "the Zhenjiao Divine Skill Divine Sword did not come out", no one could sit on the position of the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the Holy Sect gradually fell apart.
In desperation, Wang Sen had no choice but to write "once saved a fox, the fox was a repaid gratitude, and the tail was broken, with a strange fragrance", and re-established the Protestant "Smelling Fragrance Sect", with countless followers. Wang Sen has three sons, the eldest son Wang Haoli, has always been obsessed with Buddhist teachings, is a person who does not care about the world, and devoted himself to preaching in Henan and Hebei. The second son, Wang Haoyi, was a bold and righteous man, with strong martial arts and outstanding ability, and was the most suitable heir to Wang Sen; the third son, Wang Haoxian, was ambitious and good at scheming, and also won the support of many high-ranking people in the sect.
Wang Sen had four apprentices, the first disciple was Xu Hongru, a divine doctor, who was anxious for justice and righteousness, and had a great reputation in the sect, and had the same temperament as Wang Haoyi, so he fully supported him in succeeding to the throne; Wang Haoyi and Wang Haoxian ranked second and third, and Li Guoyong was the oldest, but he was the latest to get started, and he was Wang Sen's closed disciple. Li Guoyong was not high in status because of his late entry, but he was valued and won over by Wang Haoxian, and with gratitude, he naturally entered his camp.
Wang Haoxian's most powerful people back then were Li Guoyong and Liang Zilong. Liang Zilong came to the Smell Fragrance Sect even later, but his martial arts were extremely high, and when he arrived at the Smell Fragrance Sect, the Pure Space Master was too early to become a monk and had been in exile for many years, so today he does not know this unfathomable martial arts god and nun. Li Guoyong is Xu Hongru's junior brother, but he has met with Master Clearance many times, so he can naturally recognize it today.
More than ten years ago, Wang Haoxian was calculating how to get the position of successor sect leader, and after careful planning with Li Guoyong and Liang Zilong, he deliberately arranged for Li Guoyong to take the opportunity to fall out with Wang Sen, betray his teacher, establish his own sect, and oppose the Wenxiang Sect, and pulled away many sects. In the forty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Haoxian saw that his second brother Wang Haoyi was growing in popularity under the support of Xu Hongru, and decisively instructed Li Guoyong to report to the government and betray Wang Sen, causing him to be arrested and imprisoned.
During Wang Sen's imprisonment, Wang Haoxian raised his arms and shouted to save his father, and from time to time went to visit the prison to win his father's trust, while bribing the high-ranking officials in power and killing Wang Sen in prison five years ago.
During Wang Sen's imprisonment, Wang Haoyi and Xu Hongru tried their best to appease the turbulent thousands of sect members, while trying their best to prepare for the rescue, but they underestimated Wang Haoxian's ambition and did not guard against him being so mad, all plans were reported and discussed with Wang Haoxian, and all actions in the past few years naturally ended in failure under Wang Haoxian's sabotage.
Wang Sen died in prison, Wang Haoxian deceived his father into writing a letter, successfully ascended to the throne of the sect leader, and got his wish.
Li Guoyong, who has achieved fame, thought that he could get a high position in the sect with this merit, but who knew that because of his heinous accusation of betraying his teacher and betraying his teacher, he was no longer tolerated by the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Wang Haoxian was worried that Li Guoyong would hold a grudge because of this and make his plot to seek the position of sect leader public, so he had murderous intent.
After the death of his master, Li Guoyong suddenly found out in his conscience that he felt guilty, so he asked Wang Haoxian to resign, decided to retire to the rivers and lakes, and vowed to keep the secrets of the year as if they were bottles. How could Wang Haoxian believe that on the one hand, he used good words to appease Li Guoyong, but poisoned the banquet for which he saw him off, Li Guoyong was strong in martial arts, and escaped desperately after discovering it, and with a detoxification pill given by the senior brother Xu Hongru, the divine doctor, most of the poison was removed, and then he hid everywhere and hid in the mountains and wilderness.
After many years, he saw that the rumors were not too tight, so he returned to his old business, began to make a living as a blacksmith honestly, and accepted Liu Zongmin as an apprentice.
Who knew that today, he was still tracked down by Liang Zilong, and almost lost his life. When he was dying, he suddenly came to his senses, so he supported his seriously injured body and told all the secrets that had been hidden in his heart for many years.
