Chapter Twenty-Three: Dangerous Birth

This time it was Sun Zongyi who interfaced, he lowered his head and said: "The Xuan family at that time was not the later Xuan family, the power was not under my sect, and the friends were very wide, not to mention that more than half of the masters within the sect were very close to the Xuan family, that is, among the five major Xuanmen, at least three of them were relatives or confidants with the Xuan family. And although Cao Cao and Xuanji have a gap, but after all, the two sides have blood nepotism, and the meat is not separated from the skin, and Cao Pi began to get closer to the Xuan family after he ascended the throne. In the end of the Cao Wei generation, your Xuan family has always been as stable as Mount Tai, and it is not Sima Xian's ancestor who has only mastered half of the power of the sect can move if he wants to!"

"The end of the Cao Wei generation...... So did your Zongji Sect do something to our Xuan family after entering the Jin Dynasty?" Qin Zheng realized something, and said, "Hanoi Sima...... Hanoi Sima ...... Could it be this Sima Xian......"

Sure enough, I heard Qin Wei say: "This Sima Xian is Sima Lang's son, Sima Yi's nephew, Sima Zhao's cousin and Sima Shi's cousin, and the uncle of Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty!"

Lei Yan snorted, Zongjimen is known as the "Protector of the Martial Arts" in the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone has known this for a long time, but Lei Yan didn't know that the relationship between Zongjimen and the Great Jin Dynasty was so deep!

Qin Zheng sneered: "Then Sima Xian's massacre of my Xuan family is not only the so-called battle between gods and demons, but also a political overthrow!"

"Yes," Qin Wei frowned, obviously thinking of a tragic thing: "The bad luck of our Xuan family started from the Gaopingling Incident!"

The Gaopingling Rebellion was a coup d'état launched by Sima Yi in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, when Sima Yi and the Cao Wei clan and the general Cao Shuang were in power together, and the interests of the two sides were different. After several rounds of struggle, Cao Shuang expelled Sima Yi from the core of the regime and stayed at home, while Sima Yi pretended to be sick and paralyzed Cao Shuang, until the first month of the tenth year of Cao Wei (249 AD), Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang's brothers to go to Gaoping Mausoleum to sweep the tomb of Cao Pi and suddenly launched a coup d'état, first abolished Cao Shuang, followed the big killing, and Cao Wei's regime fell into the hands of Sima from then on.

Qin Zheng's era is not far from the Three Kingdoms, the Gaopingling coup d'état, whether official or civil, everyone is familiar with it, Qin Wei immediately knew it when he mentioned it, but what everyone didn't know was that at the same time as the Gaopingling coup, it was the beginning of Zongjimen's pursuit of the Xuanjia!

Qin Wei said: "Just half a year before the Gaopingling Incident, Zhuge Ming, the second-generation head of Zongjimen, suddenly fell ill and died not long after, and the authority of Zongjimen fell into the hands of Sima Xian......"

Tao Zongru, who had not spoken much, suddenly cut off and shouted: "Xuanli Spring! What do you mean by these words! Patriarch Zhuge died of illness, and at that time, no one in the third generation of disciples was enough to inherit the unification, and Patriarch Sima naturally took over the position of the head of the family, that is a natural thing, what kind of violent illness are you mentioning! What are you hinting at!"

Qin Zheng laughed and said: "What my father is hinting at, you know it in your hearts! The so-called pure person is self-purifying, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of others saying!"

Qin Wei didn't have Qin Zheng's temper, he just said: "After Sima Xian takes charge of the Zongji Sect, eliminate dissidents......" Tao Zongru frowned, and wanted to defend again, but seeing Qin Zheng couldn't help it, he heard Qin Wei continue: "...... After he firmly grasped the Zongji Gate, he secretly contacted the masters of various factions and prepared to act, but unfortunately the Xuan family was still kept in the dark at that time, Sima Xian's actions were extremely secretive, and many things, we waited until we thought about it carefully afterwards to find out the clues. In the battle of Gao Pingling, Xuan Penggong drove with him, and when he returned home, more than 100 people of all ages and children had been killed!"

Speaking of this, Qin Wei's tears flowed: "Poor, pitiful! The Xuan clan was so prosperous back then, but in the blink of an eye, it suffered such a catastrophe, and only one grandson brought by Xuan Penggong was left to get out of trouble." However, since the Sima family had already taken control of the Wei State, where could Xuan Penggong still survive? Because of his identity and unable to leave Emperor Wei, he had no choice but to ask a friend to bring his grandson to Shu and take root with Empress Zhang. ”

Lei Yan was surprised: "Empress Zhang, who is that?"

Qin Wei said: "Empress Zhang is the daughter of Zhang Fei, the general of the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, and later married Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, and became the queen. ”

Lei Yan said: "But she is thousands of miles away from the Xuan family, why did she go to her?"

Sun Zongyi was familiar with historical events and reminded him: "Empress Zhang's mother is also the Xia Hou family. ”

Lei Yan suddenly realized, and said in his heart: "Yes, the Xuan family also married the daughter of the Xia Hou clan, although they belong to two countries, they are relatives. ”

Over there, Qin Wei continued: "Sun Tzu just fled, and Xuan Penggong was killed, but Zongjimen's pursuit of the Xuan family did not end because of this. More than ten years later, the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and the Xuan family fled to Jiangdong again, attached to the Eastern Wu, and for more than ten years, the Eastern Wu was also destroyed by the Sima family, and the Xuan family lost its protection, and since then it has been incognito and fled into the mountains and forests. ”

When he said this, he glanced at Lei Yan, stroked Qin Zheng's hair again, and said: "The next thing, you know, for more than a hundred years since the fall of Eastern Wu, every generation of our Xuan family has tried their best to hide their whereabouts, but the sect has great powers, and they can always find us to slaughter them." Their sect is attached to the imperial court to open the door to accept apprentices, and select talents from them, so the martial arts are more and more developed, but we are in the run, but the essence of righteousness is losing day by day, and the gap in each other's strength is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, we don't even have the strength to fight back. Fortunately, there are still some elders like Mr. Lishan in the five major Xuanmen who pity us, so that our Xuanmen family survived, but it is difficult to send people under the fence for a long time after all, and these Xuanmen seniors did not dare to openly confront Zongjimen, and sixty years ago, your great-grandfather thought of a way, decided to take a risk, and actually moved his family to Wushi Town. ”

"Wushi Town?" Lei Yan said in surprise: "It can't be the Wushi Town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, right?"

Qin Wei nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Lei Yan shouted, "Isn't that just sending yourself to the door of the Zongji Sect!"

That Wushi town is located at the entrance of the Huangshan Mountains, is an important passage for the outside world to enter and exit Tiandu Peak, Zongji Gate has 30,000 disciples distributed all over the place, there are thousands of people gathered in Huangshan, and there are hundreds of people who can be called masters, these people go out of Huangshan that are able to deter one side of the people, but to Tiandu Peak they have to enter a state of penance, Zongji Gate of the founding patriarch thinks long-term, and sets up a door rule to require all disciples to live a hard life when they go up the mountain, even Wang Zongyun's identity and family situation, to Tiandu Peak also have to take turns to cook and wash clothes, family members can not take it up the mountain, so they can only be arranged in Wushi Town nearby, in addition to the thousands of people who come to the pilgrimage outside the mountain every year, come to seek teachers, come to pay tribute, friends, there are countless people, these people also have to pass through this Wushi Town, over time to promote the development of various local industries, so Wushi Town is small but very prosperous, regarded as the front yard of Tiandu Peak.

However, Qin Wei's grandfather actually thought of moving his family to the old nest of Zongjimen in a desperate situation, and this insight and courage were really not small! Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Amazing! This move of great-grandfather is deeply in line with the art of war!"

Qin Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Although it is a deep combination of the art of war, it is also forced to a helpless place, and it is just a desperate move." But thanks to this strategy, our family finally had a peaceful life for 20 years. Since the Wuhu Rebellion, there have been a lot of people in the Central Plains who have moved south, and there are also many northerners in Wushi Town, and no one is surprised that they have come to speak the Central Plains, and Zongjimen never imagined that our Xuan family would 'throw themselves into the net'. Therefore, in the past 20 years, Zongjimen searched all over China, and even sent people to the north to the ice forest, the west to cross the quicksand, and even bought a boat into the sea, but they failed to find the whereabouts of our Xuan family - at that time, there were rumors that our Xuan family had left Middle-earth, and there were rumors that our Xuan family had been wiped out, but no one thought that our Xuan family was living under their noses! In the past 20 years, it has been the most stable period of our Xuan family, your great-grandfather passed away here, your grandfather is also buried here, I also grew up in Wushi Town, made friends, and among my friends, several of them are disciples of Zongjimen......" He glanced at Sun Zongyi, and Sun Zongyi also sighed.

"I used to think, maybe this life will pass in peace like this, and the grievances between Zongjimen and the Xuan family will be forgotten by the world, and that will also be the last wish of the ancestors of the Xuan family. But ......" Qin Wei said this, his tears flowed down his eyes, and he looked at Sun Zongyi: "But God still refuses to let us go!"

Qin Zheng told him that one night many years ago, Qin Wei was talking to a friend of the chief horn about wine, and when he was drunk, he accidentally confided in this secret! As a result, the next day, this friend of the chief horn brought someone to kill the door, and killed the whole Xuan family, even Qin Wei's elderly mother, pregnant wife, and five or six-year-old children! Only Qin Wei escaped alone.

Thinking of this story, even Lei Yan was ashamed that he was a registered disciple of Sun Zongyi, Qin Zheng gritted his teeth even more, pointed at Sun Zongyi and said: "Old thief Sun, my Xuan family is full of doors, all thanks to you! If I let you down the mountain again today, I will be a descendant of the Xuan family in vain!"

Sun Zongyi didn't mean to make a move, Qin Zheng sneered: "This is revenge, not a competition, if you make a move, I will kill you, if you don't make a move, I will still kill you!" The palm of his hand was about to burst out, but Qin Wei came sideways to block it, and Qin Zheng shouted: "Daddy!"

"Bing'er, don't! he ...... In fact...... Thirty years ago, it's not what you know!"

Qin Zheng was stunned and said, "It's not what I know, that's ......"

Qin Wei said: "If this matter is said, Brother Sun doesn't need to think about gaining a foothold in Tiandu Peak, but now that the situation is reversed, you have controlled the overall situation, but you can't help but say it." In fact, more than 30 years ago, Brother Sun did not betray his friends, he ...... He saved me!"

Sun Zongyi lowered his head, but Qian Zongsheng's face was full of doubts, Shen Zongtong sneered, and his eyes stared at Sun Zongyi like ice!

"That Night Thirty Years Ago......"

As soon as he remembered that night, Qin Wei's face was full of remorse!

"That night, if there was only Brother Sun, then this matter was just one more person who knew the secret, but...... There was a third person outside the house!"
