Chapter 106: Xiang Zhuang Dances with a Sword, Aiming at Pei Gong
"So, Brother Lin, you want me to leave because of this matter, and I will not appear in the eyes of the court from now on." Pei Xuanjing asked.
After listening to Lin Qingyi's explanation, he understood why Lin Qingyi wanted to come back and why he wanted to leave inexplicably as soon as he saw him.
"Yes!" Lin Qingyi nodded.
Looking at Pei Xuanjing with doubts on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Pei, are you really not clear about the reason?"
Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said: "Although I know that the Shenxiao Sect was suddenly destroyed, I don't know the reason. I am even very curious about what happened at the beginning. Even after so many years, it is still being guarded by the Ming Dynasty court."
He was telling the truth. Although he knew from the life simulation that the Changsheng Temple where he was was the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect, he could also get the attention of the Zhenwu Sect's head and get the other party's support to explore the secrets of the Shenxiao Sect.
But as for why the Shenxiao Sect, which was once so prosperous, suddenly collapsed, Pei Xuanjing knew nothing about it.
Although he had tried to look up some records, those records seemed to be very taboo about this matter, with only a few words and no real answer.
Now seeing that Lin Qingyi was so concerned about his relationship with the Shenxiao Sect, Pei Xuanjing was undoubtedly more curious and wanted to know the reason.
"Moreover, if the Shenxiao Sect is really a taboo, then in my life simulation, why did the head of the Zhenwu Sect support me to re-establish the Shenxiao Sect? This seems to be contradictory to what Lin Qingyi said?" Pei Xuanjing thought in his heart.
Hearing Pei Xuanjing's question, Lin Qingyi's face was bright and dark, and he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind.
He knew that with Pei Xuanjing's character, since the other party had already asked, if he did not explain the reason clearly, then the other party would definitely not be willing to leave easily.
And facing such a strong man with a record of killing a first-class warrior, some of his coercive methods naturally had no effect at all.
But Pei Xuanjing's identity and origin have been confirmed. If he stays here, he will not only bring danger to himself, but also implicate the commander Jiang Bin and himself.
Therefore, he can only explain the reasons in detail.
"The reason why the Shenxiao Sect, which is the leader of the Taoist sect, was suddenly destroyed when it was at its peak was because they touched the taboo and aroused the fear of the Ming Dynasty court. The most important point is that the Shenxiao Sect intends to choose the emperor on behalf of the heaven and interfere in the inheritance of the throne!" Lin Qingyi said in a deep voice.
Touching the taboo, intending to choose the emperor on behalf of the heaven and interfere in the inheritance of the throne.
Even Pei Xuanjing, who had already prepared himself in his heart, could not help but change his face and was speechless after hearing what Lin Qingyi said.
He did not expect that the reason for the demise of the Shenxiao Sect would be like this.
As a sect, the top force of the Taoist sect, it actually wants to control the inheritance of the throne. What an ambition.
In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty court, this is such a great rebellion. So, if this is the reason, then everything makes sense.
Lin Qingyi felt that the surprise on Pei Xuanjing's face was natural. At least when he saw the news in the files, he was just as surprised as Pei Xuanjing.
He didn't care and described the news he knew in detail:
The real establishment of the Shenxiao Sect was actually during the period of the famous Jinmen Yuke. He was favored by Emperor Daojun and flattered as the legendary Shenxiao Yuqing Zhenwang of the Shenxiao Sect. So far, the Shenxiao Sect has been in full swing and has become the top of the Taoist sect and the leader of the Taoist sect.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, even after years of changes and the passage of time, the Shenxiao Sect not only did not decline, but became more and more powerful.
By the time of Emperor Taizong, he also conferred the title of Chongen Zhenjun and Longen Zhenjun with golden words, and the Shenxiao Sect was at its peak.
However, just two hundred years ago, the Shenxiao Sect, which had been peaceful and quiet, seemed to have gone crazy and began to pay attention to the succession of the throne. In the end, it was reported that it wanted to choose the emperor on behalf of the heaven.
After this news was spread, the world was shocked and all parties were dumbfounded.
There were those who agreed with this news and those who opposed it.
But for the Ming Dynasty court, this was almost unbearable.
The ministers were indignant, and the emperor was furious. He labeled the Shenxiao Sect as a rebellion and mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress it. Not only was the Shenxiao Sect's ancestral temple destroyed, but also many branch sects were destroyed.
From then on, the descendants of the Shenxiao Sect were labeled as traitors, and even to this day, this decree has not been cancelled.
So, when Lin Qingyi learned of this news, he was extremely shocked. He really didn't expect Pei Xuanjing to have such a background.
"So that's it." Pei Xuanjing said lightly without changing his expression.
He knew that although the reasons given by Lin Qingyi were very high-sounding, they were enough to fool many people and shut up many people.
But in his opinion, it was not the real reason. After all, the Shenxiao Sect had been passed down for a long time. It was too fake to just use such a reason.
"It seems that if I want to find out the reason behind this, I have to go to Taihe Mountain." Pei Xuanjing thought in his heart.
Lin Qingyi didn't know what Pei Xuanjing was thinking, but after he had explained the reason clearly, Pei Xuanjing still looked indifferent and unmoved, which made him very anxious.
"Brother Pei, do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will arrange for someone to send you away." He urged anxiously.
Pei Xuanjing said calmly: "No."
"Then I will arrange for someone to take you away." Lin Qingyi nodded.
"No!" Pei Xuanjing rejected Lin Qingyi's words.
Lin Qingyi's expression changed, "Brother Pei, what do you mean? Could it be that you can't trust Lin?"
He admitted that he was eager to send Pei Xuanjing away now to avoid trouble, and he did not want the other party's identity to be exposed and drag down himself and Jiang Bin.
But he can guarantee that he has absolutely no intention of harming Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing's appearance made him feel that he was being doubted and he felt dissatisfied.
Pei Xuanjing waved his hand and said, "Brother Lin misunderstood. I said no because it was too late."
Sure enough, at this moment, the door of Pei Xuanjing's mansion was knocked open, and a guard in golden clothes hurriedly ran in.
"My lord, I'm sorry. The commander led many people to surround Sir Pei's residence. I don't know what to do."
Lin Qingyi changed greatly when he heard this, and then turned pale.
Looking at the pale-faced Lin Qingyi, Pei Xuanjing stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "Brother Lin, this time it is Pei who has caused trouble for you."
Lin Qingyi smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Brother Pei, why are you doing this? If you want to be implicated, it's me who implicated you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't necessarily be involved."
Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, they are coming after me. You should take advantage of the chaos and leave later!"
Lin Qingyi had already figured out a lot of things at this time. He said coldly: "This time, the opponent is Xiang Zhuang who dances with Pei Gong with his sword intention!"
Yes, since Qian Ning is determined to use this to eradicate Brother Pei and drag Mr. Jiang into the water, how can he allow himself to take Brother Pei away.
It's hard to say that the other party told him this news on purpose, and then took the opportunity to seize the stolen goods and drag Mr. Jiang into the water.
