Chapter 128 Disclosure

The establishment of the Heavenly Sect has a long history of more than 30 years. Originally, it was formed by some displaced people who lost their land and property in the Jiangnan region, who gathered in the mountains and forests to fight against the government. It was called the "Great Harmony Society" in the martial arts world and did not have much influence. It was not until the leader of the sect, his family, passed through this place and preached for more than ten days in the mountains, that the congregation thought it was a deity descending to earth and recommended him as the leader. Later, his family changed the "Great Harmony Society" to the "Heavenly Sect", saying that we were no longer bandits in the green forest, but a new sect that coexisted with the Buddhist and Taoist families. In order to avoid the suspicion of rebellion, the new sect was promoted. To preach and preach in all corners of the world, there are many people who believe and join, and various provinces have established branches. If brothers have any unexpected circumstances, it is really convenient to take care of them

In the city of Tongzhou, Huang Qian walked and pointed forward with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, look ahead is the Tongzhou Branch, which was built in the Taoist Temple according to the old rules of decades ago. Brothers have been waiting in the back mountain for a long time."

Zhang Zhe looked up and saw that it was indeed a Taoist temple.

To the west of Tongzhou City lies a mountain, which serves as a natural barrier. Although the mountain terrain is not high, it also has a touch of beauty.

The planted ones are old pine trees that have been through winter.

A door was built at the foot of the mountain, and the three characters "Shangqingguan" were hung on the top. Judging from the plaque and buildings, they were somewhat outdated, and even looked very dilapidated outside. It seems that there is not much incense on the outside.

After watching Xiaobao drive Jiang Xuening to Yongding Pharmacy for treatment, Zhang Zhe became somewhat absent-minded, with a faint expression on his face.

When he saw the Taoist temple, he just nodded.

The origin of the Heavenly Cult is widely spread among the people, but in the eyes of court officials like him who know its details, there is nothing mysterious or mysterious about it.

Huang Qian's words are roughly right.

In the early days, Tianjiao was a "Great Harmony Society" formed by displaced people who had lost their land, in order to resist local gentry or rob merchants in order to obtain a place to survive. But about fifteen years after the reign of the late emperor, which was the fifteenth year of the Dezheng era, a significant event occurred between Buddhism and Taoism.

Taoism is a local sect that has been prevalent in Middle earth for a long time.

Unfortunately, more than two hundred years ago, Buddhism was introduced from the west, during a turbulent era. There were countless believers in both the north and south of the Yangtze River, and they were faintly not inferior to Taoism. The two temples, Xiumiao and Qiguan, occasionally compete for religious and territorial boundaries, causing friction with each other.

By the time the previous emperor ascended the throne, Buddhism had already become popular.

At that time, Buddhism was led by the White Horse Temple, and the former emperor even personally visited the temple to pray for blessings and offer incense. The abbot in charge was the current national teacher, Yuanji Monk; Taoism is revered by the Sanqing Temple, which is said to have a thousand year old tradition. The main Taoist name of the temple is "Zhenyi", and everyone is honored with the title of "Zhenyi Daoist", and is also proficient in Taoism.

Unexpectedly, in that year, there was a great dispute between the two religions.

Both religions are determined to compete for status, so Monk Yuanji and Taoist Zhenyi have an appointment at the foot of Mount Taishan Mountain to argue about Buddhism and Taoism. At one point, practitioners and believers gathered together, all gathered to listen to the two preaching.

Due to the passage of time, only a few words have been left behind in the glory of the past, but the ultimate result is widely circulated——

On this side of Taoism, Zhenyi Daoist suffered a disastrous defeat.

It is rumored that after discussing with Taoist Zhenyi for several days, the monk Yuanji exposed many Taoist temples that had abducted women and harbored filth, like a brothel. He also pointed out that Taoist Zhenyi was a demon who had descended and caused chaos to the world, and was a "demon path". His actions made him stand out.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Sanqing Temple was smashed clean by someone, and Zhenyi Taoist fled in chaos, disappearing from sight thereafter. The Battle of Yuanji Monk greatly increased his reputation, and the incense of Baima Temple became increasingly popular.

However, what few people know is that Zhenyi Daoist has not truly disappeared.

He transformed and changed his name to a layman, meaning "rest in all things" and called it "Wan Xiuzi". Seizing a good opportunity when the people were struggling to make a living, he preached and preached at the "Great Harmony Society". However, he disregarded Buddhism and abandoned the Tao, creating his own "Heavenly Religion" and making a comeback.

Its doctrine is based on the principle of "universal unity", and mutual assistance within the sea is all brothers, thus widely spread.

The majority of the poor people in the world are delighted to hear the teachings.

Therefore, it didn't take a few years for it to become a climate change. Twenty years ago, Prince Pingnan's rebellion was even more aided by him, and he was able to attack the capital in one fell swoop, almost overthrowing Emperor Da Qian's dragon chair.

Zhang Zhe is unaware of the true nature of his discourse on Taoism back then.

It can be inferred from common sense that the person now known as "Wan Xiuzi", who is serving as the leader of the Heavenly Sect, must still hold a grudge against the past. Four years ago, Monk Yuanji helped Shen Lang ascend to the throne, and his contributions outweighed those of Xie Wei. He was also granted the title of National Teacher due to his high reputation in Buddhism, which may have made him a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye for the heads of all religions.

It is not surprising that the Heavenly Cult, as it compares itself to Buddhism and Taoism, occupies the nest of magpies and is hidden in temples and Taoist temples.

I just don't know how many dangers are waiting for people to step inside.

At present, almost all the members of the Tianjiao sect who are accompanying are from the Tongzhou branch, and when they walk towards Shangqing Temple, they are all familiar with the road.

The escaped prisoners in prison followed behind with a nervous expression on their faces.

During the winter, Xiao Dingfei shook the golden folding fan in his hand, but looked around. Although his facial features were handsome and charming, there was a hint of unease in his expression.

He looked at the entrance of the temple.

There were several disciples guarding outside, all with clever appearances, and when they saw them coming from afar, they spread the message all the way inside.

Xiao Dingfei felt as if his feet were filled with lead.

As he was about to reach the steps of the temple, his eyes rolled around and he suddenly let out an "ouch". He raised his hand to cover his left rib and claimed that his lungs were hurting, and he also wanted to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, Feng Mingyu had already known his character. Although he didn't know why he had to pretend this before he arrived at the helm, he remembered the instructions given by the leader to take good care of him and didn't buy it at all. He said, "Master Wu is in the temple. Since the young master is so uncomfortable, why don't you go in and see for him first, and if not, find a doctor for him?"

Xiao Dingfei's face immediately turned green.

He looked around and saw that they were all members of the Heavenly Sect, so he couldn't leave.

In the end, he could only pinch his nose and enter the Taoist temple with everyone.

This "Shangqing Temple" is a local Taoist temple in Tongzhou. Since the decline of Buddhism, Taoism, and Taoism many years ago, the Taoist priests inside have gradually run out, taking advantage of the Heavenly Sect's occupation of it as a nest. It is backed by a low mountain and is truly unique.

Dao Tong greeted at the door, but when they met, they said, "Greetings to Lord Huang Xiang.".

With a wave of his hand and a movement of his foot, he led everyone inside.

The outside looks deserted, but there is still a door left and you can hear the voices of people inside, laughing loudly. Zhang Zhe followed Huang and Feng through this door and saw a flat area outside the spacious hall, crowded with people in the dark. Despite their different clothes, they were all the same sturdy grass. Ten or so jars of strong liquor were lined up at the bottom of the corridor. In the winter, the taste of the liquor drifted away, as if it was about to ignite this Taoist temple, full of spiciness!

The Taoist who led them in shouted loudly, "Huang Xiangzhu and Feng Zuoxiang are back!"

There was a moment of silence inside the door.

A loud laugh that shook the eardrums came from the hall, and the person followed the sound. He was a middle-aged man with a well proportioned figure, with a black beard on his chin and a black green robe. His steps were steady and agile, and his eyes shone brightly. He greeted Feng Mingyu and others directly, saying, "Hahaha, Mr. Feng and Huang Xiangzhu have finally returned with success. Congratulations!"

This is Wu Feng, the helmsman of the Tianjiao Tongzhou Branch.

Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian immediately humbled themselves and said, "It's all the brothers at the helm who put in the effort. I dare not take credit for it."

Wu Feng glanced at the "extra" group of people and was very satisfied. "This time, not only did he save our brothers in the sect, but he also brought these many righteous people from prison, and added bricks and tiles to the growth of our sect's power. If you report this credit, the sect leader will definitely reward you heavily!"

The group of people in the prison, led by Meng Yang, were indeed able to escape from prison thanks to the grace of the Heavenly Sect. They followed the Heavenly Sect all the way to Tongzhou and indeed had plans to join the Heavenly Sect.

But now without a word of greeting, when asked about them, they said it was "adding bricks and tiles to the power of the Heavenly Sect", as if they were here to defect.

This made many people secretly frown.

A group of bandits from all over the world are not really good people. When they arrived, they had some arguments with the members of the Heavenly Sect. Now it's not very comfortable to hear Wu Feng's words.

Meng Yang stood behind, with a smile on his lips.

His gaze flickered over the people of the Heavenly Sect and landed on Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zheren was in the thief's nest, but he didn't panic at all. He turned his eyes to Meng Yang, and after a moment, he calmly lowered his gaze without making any reaction.

Feng Mingyu took this opportunity to turn the topic to Zhang Zhe and said with a smile, "Even we dare not take credit for this. I believe the helmsman has heard that besides our Tongzhou branch, Mr. Dujun has also sent strong reinforcements in the capital. If it weren't for the help of Mr. Zhang, we wouldn't have been able to save people so smoothly. It's possible that we would have been ambushed by the imperial court!"

Wu Feng exclaimed "Oh".

His gaze turned towards Zhang Zhe, shining brightly with a hint of exploration hidden in it. His face appeared bold and straightforward, and he arched his hand and said, "I've heard of the name of Mr. Du Jun before, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Today, seeing an adult can be considered meeting Mr. Zhang's family. Everyone in Zhang's court is willing to bow down and serve the Heavenly Cult. He truly understands righteousness and endures humiliation! Wu admires it!"

Jianghu people have their own way of doing things, but Zhang Zhe is not used to it and is not good at words. After a few perfunctory and humble sentences, he becomes speechless.

Wu Feng didn't feel embarrassed either, he just called for pouring wine.

The people who were squeezing and squeezing each other in the temple raised their rough pottery bowls and shouted, "Respect heaven, respect earth, respect Datong." They tilted their necks and gulped down three bowls, looking as if they were bold and confident.

Zhang Zhe is also not used to drinking alcohol.

But in this situation, she couldn't refuse. She looked up and drank three bowls with everyone, but felt the strong liquor cut her throat, burning her heart and lungs, choking on people and making her cough. However, her heart became even more calm, and Rose showed no fear.

Everyone applauded and cheered for him when they saw him.

After finishing his drink, Feng Mingyu showed his embarrassment and said, "Master, I have something to say here. I don't know if I should say it or not..."

After speaking, he looked around.

Wu Feng understood and smiled, "Then go in and say, please!"

With a wave of his hand, he invited everyone to the hall.

In the main hall, there are statues of the Three Qing Patriarch, with two chairs at the top. Wu Feng sat on the left one, while the right one was left to Xiao Dingfei.

The remaining speakers took their seats one by one.

Perhaps due to the "Dujun Mountain people", Feng Mingyu and others invited Zhang Zhe to sit at the top left corner. Some qualified individuals in other religions stayed behind and gathered behind the crowd or stood outside the hall. Meng Yang had no seat and stood in the corner with his long hands and feet wrapped around his arms, with a strange smile on his lips as he watched.

Just now I was fine outside, but as soon as I entered the hall, it felt inexplicably quiet.

This place is built against the mountains and is already cold and gloomy.

When it quieted down, there was a strange tension and forest. Looking around, the atmosphere had faintly changed.

Wu Feng then asked Feng Mingyu, "What is the difficulty with the Left Prime Minister?"

Feng Mingyu took out a rolled up piece of paper from his sleeve, with small characters written on it and a very special emblem of the distant mountains. He handed it to Wu Feng and pinched his beard, saying, "This is a secret letter that I received last night outside Tongzhou City. Lord Wu is also an elderly member of the sect. I believe you can tell at a glance where this emblem comes from."

Wu Feng was shocked when he saw the emblem.

His voice trembled slightly and he said, "It's actually a secret letter written by Mr. Du Jun himself!"

Feng Mingyu smiled, but his gaze changed. He glanced vaguely at Zhang Zhe and said, "Exactly. It is well known in the sect that Mr. Dujun and Mr. Gongyi are the right-hand men of the sect leader, and they have no tricks or strategies. However, this secret letter is somewhat incomprehensible to me."

Zhang Zhe noticed Feng Mingyu's gaze, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and he remained silent.

===Kunning Section 168===

Wu Feng's face changed three times as he carefully read the secret letter.

Since he sat down on the top right, Xiao Dingfei felt as if he had been sitting on a nail. His buttocks were not honest, and he wished he could jump and run a long way away. He had been secretly monitoring the expressions of everyone. Seeing Wu Feng like this, his heart twitched.

He asked, "What was written?"

Wu Feng's face completely cooled down, and his slightly cold gaze swept over all the faces in this hall before he said, "Sir, with a secret letter of guidance, the actions of the sect were leaked in advance during this imprisonment in Beijing, and it was an internal ghost who caused the trouble. And this internal ghost has returned with the rest of the sect, intending to harm our sect!"

"Neigui!"

With a loud bang, Wu Feng's words exploded as the entire hall erupted into a frenzy of voices!

Especially the people who had returned from the capital this time were full of astonishment, looking at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance. Zhang Zhe remained motionless, while Meng Yang watched coldly.

Feng Mingyu walked with everyone all the way, and although he had tried Zhang Zhe repeatedly, his doubts could not be erased. Therefore, he first challenged Zhang Zhe and smiled kindly, saying, "Since Mr. Zhang has served under his command, he has come specifically for the prison robbery. Do you know who this' ghost 'is?"

Zhang Zhe drank three bowls of wine and his temples twitched.

With a cold and solemn expression on his face, he sat upright and said, "Zhang was ordered to assist with the prison robbery and had already left the capital a few days ago. However, the secret letter only came last night, and the Left Prime Minister came to ask Zhang, but he was in a difficult situation."

Feng Mingyu seemed to anticipate his words and said, "Since Mr. Zhang is a capable disciple, why didn't Mr. Zhang mention him in his secret letter?"

Zhang Zhe frowned and said, "The matter is urgent, why bother Zhang?"

Feng Mingyu chuckled and said, "Master Zhang, you need to think carefully when speaking. Your sister is sick, and I taught you how to send someone to take care of her carefully. If you don't treat her with sincerity, it's really chilling!"

The words seemed to use Jiang Xuening as a threat!

The two people who accompanied Jiang Xuening to see a doctor were both members of the Heavenly Sect. Xiao Bao was young, and Feng Mingyu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut. Therefore, he secretly warned the two experts to control Jiang Xuening no matter what, and become an important bargaining chip in their hands.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Zhang Zhe's face changed slightly!

He was wearing a dark robe, with one hand resting on the armrest of the seat and the other gently resting on his knee. The curled lines of his long fingers were hard and cold, and in an instant, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were stained with a heavy chill.

He looked up at Feng Mingyu.

At this moment, Feng Mingyu inexplicably felt his entire spine tremble, as if he had been struck by a bone picking knife. He felt a chill, and then he heard this person coldly say, "I couldn't be sure all the way, after all, the Left Prime Minister is always at the helm of Jinling and claims to have been ordered by the sect leader to assist in the prison robbery. However, Tongzhou has already been under the command of Wu, and there is no shortage of people in charge of the overall situation.". After receiving the letter, Mr. Zuo was busy clearing himself and smearing Zhang, but in the end, he was exposed

Feng Mingyu was so surprised that he stumbled and stood up in shock. His face was as red as a pig's liver, and he was furious, saying, "How dare you spit blood on me?"

The people inside the hall couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Zhang Zhe remained calm and gently smoothed out a crease on the hem of his robe, saying, "Zhang is a high-ranking official of the court. If he hadn't joined my master's sect and served our sect, how could he have committed personal danger and waded through this muddy water with sacrificial benefits? Both emotions and reason are absurd."

"You!"

Feng Mingyu was completely stunned, unable to believe Zhang Zhe, who had been silent all the way. At this moment, every word was like throwing out a sword! Seemingly calm, but in reality, there are countless dangers hidden!

Yes, if you want to gather information, the court can send a small servant. Why send such a court official who is infatuated with solving cases and has a good reputation?

Feng Mingyu's heart was already a bit chaotic.

He wanted to defend himself, but for a moment, he didn't organize his thoughts clearly. His body, half buried in the soil, trembled and he only said, "I'm at the helm of Jinling. No one knows who doesn't know. A good Zhang Zhe can turn black and white upside down! Master Wu, listen to my words and arrest this Zhang Zhe first. However, during my consultation, I sent a letter to Mr. Du Jun, inquiring about this matter. This person will definitely reveal his true form!"

Feng Mingyu is indeed the number one figure in Jinling.

He thought to himself that Wu Feng should follow suit.

Who wanted to say that there was no sound for the second half of the day? Turning around, Wu Feng's hesitant gaze shifted from him to Zhang Zhe, and then from Zhang Zhe back to him, but it looked like a dilemma.

Feng Mingyu let out a cry in his heart.

Okay.

I have my own plans!

The headquarters is located in Jinling, one south and one north of Tongzhou. Although the Tongzhou branch is dispatched by the headquarters, it secretly monitors the movements in the capital. But after all, the distance is too far, and it is not acceptable to receive military orders outside. Moreover, Tongzhou is too close to the capital city. While Wu Feng had to obey the command of the headquarters, he was also afraid of the people from Dujun Mountain. If Zhang Zhe is indeed under the tutelage of Dujun Mountain people, tie him up first and then send a letter to inquire, I'm afraid it will anger Dujun's side.

Wu Feng also had his own concerns.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was already tense and everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but think twice and try to ease the atmosphere: "There were many people who came back from the prison robbery, so we shouldn't rush to make a conclusion. We're afraid that if we didn't catch the real mole, it would hurt our harmony and not be worth it."

Zhang Zhe closed his eyes and remained silent. Outsiders didn't feel guilty at all, and he didn't seem like an insider of the court.

Where would Feng Mingyu listen to Wu Feng's words again?

If it comes to his status in the sect, he is actually a bit higher than Wu Feng. The other party's words have already angered him, and he immediately touched the token from his waist, ready to erupt.

However, at this moment of imminent danger, a voice with little confidence sounded nearby.

Surprisingly, it was Xiao Dingfei who had been playing with the fan for a while in the upper right corner.

His golden folding fan had already been put away, and the handle lightly pressed against his clearly defined lower jaw. His lips seemed to be smiling, and he coughed with a nonchalant expression: "What's that? Master Wu, Mr. Du and Mr. Du Jun's secret letters. Can you lend me a look?"

Everyone was stunned.

Who wouldn't consider this young man who fled as a wanderer all the way back? He's just an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass?

No one expects him to speak in such an occasion.

At this moment, unexpectedly interjected to borrow Mr. Du Jun's confidential letter to observe?

Zhang Zhe suddenly remembered the strange gaze that Xiao Dingfei looked at him when he first met outside the dilapidated temple.

He glanced blankly at Meng Yang in the corner.

Meng Yang stood still, his gaze brushing over Zhang Zhe, but he made a mistake by paying attention to the expressions and movements of everyone in the field.

Wu Feng had heard of this determined young master in the sect and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Look at this..."

Xiao Dingfei's flirtatious peach blossom eyes narrowed and said, "Show me the secret letter, I'll tell you who the ghost is."

After a moment of silence, the audience began to whisper.

Feng Mingyu was also stunned for a moment. He didn't know that neither he nor Wu Feng could see the depth of the secret letter, and Xiao must not be able to discern anything.

But ultimately, Xiao Dingfei's identity is different.

Wu Feng thought about it and handed over the secret letter.

Xiao Dingfei took over and opened it for a closer look.

At this moment, the inside of the temple suddenly became quiet and could smell the needle. Everyone's gaze fell on the face of this promiscuous young master, hoping to see something in his eyes.

The secret letter was only half a page thin, but Xiao Dingfei read it for a long time.

Wu Feng, Feng Mingyu, and others felt their heartbeat was fast.

After a while, I couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, how are you?"

Xiao Dingfei lifted his head and gently folded the paper, but looked at Zhang Zhe. He tugged at the corner of his lips and said, "Mr. Zhang, I forgot to tell you on the way. Not only did I see excessive pressure, but I also know that Mr. Zhang never lives in the mountains."

As soon as his words fell to the ground, Zhang Zhe's eyes twitched.

Feng Mingyu suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Okay, it's really you!"

Wu Feng shouted loudly, "Take it!"

Someone around had already grasped their swords and was ordered to chop towards Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe frowned.

Seeing the knife approaching, he didn't move. But inside the slanted thorn, a white shadow erupted, three points faster than anyone else! I don't know where to grab the knife, but the machete flipped the closest member of the sect to Zhang Zhe to the ground!

A sharp and sharp knife slashed through the face and into the chest, causing a burst of blood!

The wielder of the knife felt as if bathed in blood.

Feng Mingyu and others couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Meng Yang!"
