Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 154: The Xuan Sect's Attack on the Other Side (Part 2)
"At that time, Taizu Li Xuanzhen was originally a member of the Xuan Dao, so he named the country Da Xuan," Dong Wanxing said, "The so-called Xuanmen is a branch of the Xuan Dao.
"The mysterious way emphasizes the mysterious and indefinite, transcendent and absolute! In fact, it wants to use the mysterious to calm the mind. Its central idea is to emphasize the stability of all living beings, the mysterious law of all things, so that everyone can have a peaceful state of mind to face the world.
"However, the Xuanmen sect misinterprets morality and is too extreme. They believe that the Xuanmen sect is supreme and can control all living things. They look down on all living things from a high position, so..."
Xuanmen Supremacy...
Shangxuan defeats the alien...
Xu Zun already had a general understanding of the origin of the word "Shang Xuan".
"During the Shenwu years, Xuanmen Sect Master Fu Guandao led his disciples to launch a coup, attempting to overthrow the Great Xuan Kingdom," Dong Wanxing said, "but Taizu discovered it and eventually suppressed it.
"However, in order to eliminate the remnants, Emperor Taizu killed tens of thousands of believers in the subsequent crackdown. Because the relationship between Xuanmen and Xuandao is delicate, many people from Xuandao were also affected and were identified as remnants of Xuanmen, and died tragically in that catastrophe..."
"Oh..." Li Yan nodded and said, "I didn't expect that I have never heard of such a thing! Where did Dong Changshi hear it from?"
"Taizu swore that he would not touch the people of Xuandao after the founding of the country, but the catastrophe caused too much killing, which violated the oath. Therefore, this matter was sealed and not mentioned.
"As for me... hehe," Dong Wanxing smiled slightly, "I studied at Qinglong Temple in Hanzhou back then, and I heard these stories from the monks there."
"It was actually said by a monk," Li Yan nodded silently, "Everything in the universe is really mysterious!"
"My Lords," Xu Zun's mind was obviously not here at the moment, and he immediately reminded, "This time, Xuanmen is not as simple as a resurgence!
"The Taoist priest Qinglan, who was personally appointed by the Queen Mother, and Lu Jinlong, who is the Marquis of Daxuan, have both been used by the Xuanmen. This shows that their conspiracy has not been going on for a day or two!"
"Yes!" Li Yan and Dong Wanxing responded in unison, their faces returning to seriousness.
"Shangxuan eliminates dissidents, and all gods return to their origin..." Dong Wanxing muttered, analyzing, "This sentence means that the return of Xuanmen is to eliminate dissidents. And the return of all gods to their origin shows their ambition. They want to kill the gods and get the status they deserve!"
"Killing God... Tsk tsk..."
Li Yan already understood the meaning of "killing the god", which was obviously aimed at the imperial power, further confirming their conspiracy to assassinate in the palace.
"This is a serious matter, Jiying, Wanxing," Li Yan said to the two of them, "I'll leave all the cleanup work to you two!"
Xu Zun and Dong Wanxing naturally expressed their determination, and then Li Yan dragged his tired body to the inner hall to rest.
Dong Wanxing and Xu Zun went to the police station to discuss the aftermath of the incident.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two entered the side yard, they saw several people holding their heads and crying!
Xu Zun also quickly realized that it was Hong Gu's family who came to the county government to recognize them.
Because Hong Gu helped Xu Zun escape from Qinglan Temple and later fought bravely against the temple bandits, Xu Zun pardoned her and allowed her to reunite with her family.
At this moment, seeing their long-missing daughter was found, the old couple cried with joy and hugged each other.
Hong Gu was also very excited when she saw her parents and quickly kowtowed to them...
At this time, Hong Gu saw Xu Zun and hurriedly introduced him to her parents, saying that Xu Zun was her lifesaver!
Seeing this, the parents knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Zun to express their gratitude...
Xu Zun quickly helped them up one by one and comforted them.
"Hong Gu, now that you are free again," Xu Zun said, "then you can go home with your parents. I will find a few people to protect your safety for a while."
"Sir!" Upon hearing this, Hong Gu knelt down to Xu Zun again and said resolutely, "Although Hong Gu is young, she also knows the righteousness. I can personally testify that the sisters in Qinglan Temple were bewitched by treacherous people!
"If they hadn't taken that pill, they would never be like this. They... they are all pitiful people...
"Now, my parents have been found, but their parents are looking forward to their return home! Sir," Hong Gu begged, "please allow me to go and persuade them and help them regain their sanity as soon as possible.
"Also, I can help you interrogate those evil nuns. I know what they are responsible for on a daily basis. I can definitely help you, sir. Please allow me to do so!"
"Good!" Xu Zun helped Hong Gu up and praised her, "It's rare that you are so wise at such a young age! Okay, I agree, you will follow Huo Anu and be responsible for persuading those trapped girls!"
"Thank you, sir!" Hong Gu clasped her fists.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Zun asked Hong Gu three more questions, one of which was how those people brainwashed the girls?
The second question is what should the girls do after being trained?
The third thing is about the mantra, asking Hong Gu if she knows the secret of the mantra?
"After taking that kind of pill, you will have hallucinations," Hong Gu replied, "I took it at the beginning, and after taking it, I would forget the pain, as if nothing mattered anymore!
"And during that psychedelic moment, the nuns would keep chanting in their ears, reciting some incomprehensible things, like scriptures . Over time, those people would become very obedient...
"However, after I take the pills, I will find a way to spit them out, so when they whisper in my ears, I just feel annoyed, but I won't be controlled by them...
"As for what they want us to do, I don't know!" Hong Gu said, "In that underground palace, we have to study more than a dozen courses , including poetry, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and of course martial arts and archery, etc.
"These courses are very strict. If you don't study well, you will be eliminated. Those who are eliminated will suddenly disappear, and no one knows where they are sent to...
"I feel like if they train us, they will definitely send us to a wealthy family in the future, right? Whatever it is, I feel like it's definitely not a good thing...
"...As for those formulas, they are what the nuns chanted every time after taking the medicine. There is a lot more to it. I will write it down for you later. However, I am not sure if the words are correct..."
"good!"
Xu Zun likes this Hong Gu more and more. Every sentence she says hits the point directly and concisely. Both her emotional intelligence and IQ are very high. No wonder she is chosen by the bandits!
However, compared with Lu Xiaofeng, A Ni and others, Hong Gu's appearance is obviously inferior.
But if you don't compare her with them, she is definitely a top-notch beauty.
While he was talking, Dong Wanxing was staring at him in a daze. After Hong Gu left, he eagerly grabbed Xu Zun and asked:
"Xu Tixing, you said before that all those girls were stunningly beautiful?"
"Yes," Xu Zun saw what he was thinking and said, "This Hong Gu can only be considered ordinary."
"Really?" Dong Wanxing's eyes widened. "There are even prettier ones. How beautiful must they be? Lord Xu, can we... go and take a look?"
