Chapter 208

"Pang Yingtian!" Pang Jun was horrified when he heard what Emperor Xuanzhen said, and he cried out in a lost voice, "You...you are my...my...grandfather!?"

　　Xuanzhen Daohuang, who called himself Pang Yingtian, saw Pang Jun's expression and didn't say anything. He secretly used his internal strength and hit a stone statue beside him with one palm. The stones on the statue immediately cracked.

　　"Heaven-Splitting Palm..." Pang Jun murmured as he looked at the cracks on the stone statue. Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Heaven-Splitting Palm was Pang Yingtian's unique skill, the Pang family's ancestral martial arts, and only the Pang family could use it. Pang Yun had already passed away at this time, so the only ones in the world who could use the Heaven-Splitting Palm were probably Pang Jun and Pang Yingtian. "Why, why?" Pang Jun had mixed feelings at this time. Since he was a child, Pang Yun had told him that his grandfather Pang Yingtian had passed away long ago, and now he suddenly appeared before him. All of a sudden, countless thoughts flooded into his mind, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only keep repeating why.

　　Seeing his grandson's distraught look, Pang Yingtian said with some guilt, "In order to start a rebellion to restore the country, I secretly instigated the eight princes of the Yang family to fight for the throne, which led to chaos in the world. Your father was kind-hearted and did not want to inherit the will of restoring the country. In addition, he could not bear to see the suffering of the people, so he went to Beijing to help Yang Shao quell the rebellion. In fact, what Zhao Wuji said was right. Yun'er is indeed what they call the "remnant of the previous dynasty". Later, Zhao Wuji discovered that your father had hidden one of the "Lankavatara Sutras", so he slandered it to Yang Shao and wanted to seize the sutra. Although Yang Shao did not believe that your father was a remnant of the previous dynasty, he was also afraid of his talent, so he went with the flow and acquiesced to Zhao Wuji's approach."

　　"You knew about this a long time ago?" Pang Jun stared at Pang Yingtian and questioned, "Why didn't you tell my father and the others? Do you know that that bloody night has been my lingering nightmare for many years?"

　　Pang Yingtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining, "Of course I don't know. Back then, I sneaked into Shaolin Temple to steal the scripture from Shaolin Temple, but ended up running into that old bald donkey Tianhong. I was injured by the two Shaolin masters, Tianhong and Tianjie, and hid in Yinzhou to heal. By the time I knew about this, it had been more than a month since the incident here. This place had already been burned to the ground, and you and your son were nowhere to be found. Since then, I began to develop the Tianyi Religion while looking for your whereabouts, and finally found you with Gong Qinxue."

　　"So, Master knows your identity?"

　　"She probably doesn't know. She is a person who knows how to seek good fortune and avoid danger. She is also a smart person. She knows that I must have a relationship with you, otherwise I would not come to teach you martial arts for no reason. And my martial arts are slightly better than hers. She is also happy to have someone with higher martial arts than her to teach you." Pang Yingtian replied, "A few years later, you have learned the martial arts in the Xuanji Secret Book. The only thing left is to study hard and practice. The Divine Religion has also reached a critical time for development. I had to leave you and return to the religion to handle affairs. You have also participated in the subsequent affairs, don't you know it clearly?"

　　Pang Jun remained silent for a long time, then he asked again: "What about the Japanese? What about the tomb robbers?"

　　"The Japanese and we are just taking what we need from each other. They want to plunder the south of the Yangtze River, and we need the silver they smuggle, so we just provide them with channels for infiltration and smuggling. As for the tomb robber, it was an unexpected surprise to me. Even I myself don't know where Zhenzong hid that wealth, because Yang Tuo dug three feet deep in Qinzhou, the birthplace of Tianjing and Dayan, but didn't find any valuables. But ever since the tomb robber appeared in Zhaozhou, I knew that Zhenzong's treasure house was in Zhaozhou. After several investigations, I concluded that it is very likely in Songshan!" Pang Yingtian said with certainty.

　　"Songshan..." Pang Jun was thinking about something in his mind. He wondered, "Why is it in Songshan? Does anyone else know about this?"

　　Pang Yingtian shook his head and said, "Zhenzong is as wise as the sea. I don't know what he is thinking. As for this matter, other people in the Jin court may not know, but there is one person who knows for sure."

　　"who?"

　　"The commander of the Divine Guards, Ling Buxu! Ling Buxu's family was born as slaves of the Yang clan, and they have been loyal to the Yang clan for hundreds of years. The Yang clan has also carefully cultivated the Ling family. Among the ten people on the Heavenly Ranking in the world, people all say that Mu Qi is the eleventh. If you really count, the title of the eleventh will not be Mu Qi's. Not to mention that I am 80% sure that I can beat him. Even if it is Ling Buxu, Mu Qi is still slightly inferior. What's more, Ling Buxu is the commander of the Divine Guards, in charge of all the secret agents of the Yang clan in the world, and has a lot of intelligence. If he wants to do something, he will definitely do something." Pang Yingtian seemed to be a little afraid of Ling Buxu.

　　"So your main source of news about the capital is not Qin Jiuyuan, the wife of the Nan family's eldest son, but Li Shenji, the deputy commander of the Shenyi Guard?" Pang Jun asked.

　　"Gray-eyed Eagle King, Li Shenji, is the source of all my intelligence in the capital, and he is also one of the descendants of the five great sect guards back then," Pang Yingtian nodded in affirmative response, "but we are still one step behind. Ling Buxu doesn't trust anyone except the emperor. Shenji and I underestimated him. We thought we had drugged his tea and imprisoned him to ensure that nothing would go wrong, but he ended up turning the tables, and Li Shenji was also injured by him."

　　He sighed as he said this: "Originally, I was the one who colluded with the three masters to assassinate Yang Shao. My goal was to cause chaos in the Jin court again. Then we took the opportunity to start an uprising in Lianghe and Jiangnan, and Li Shenji started an uprising in the capital to echo each other. In addition, we also have our insiders in Xichuan. When we unite together, we can do something. Who knew that it would become like this now? Man proposes, God disposes. Alas."

　　Pang Jun looked at his grandfather and said quietly, "So, did you ask me to come here just to tell me these things? Or do you want Liaodong to help you overthrow the Jin court?"

　　When Pang Yingtian heard Pang Jun's words, he looked at him kindly and asked, "Jun'er, do you know why I chose to come and see you at this time?"

　　"I...my grandson doesn't know..." Pang Jun shook his head blankly.

　　Hearing Pang Jun calling himself his grandson, Pang Yingtian seemed to be relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Hearing you say this, I feel that I have never been as happy as I am today in all these years. I don't have much time left. Back then, I was severely injured by Tianhong and Tianjie, two bald donkeys, leaving me with irreparable hidden injuries. The two true qi have been constantly bursting out under my suppression. Even the "Rong" character formula of the Xuanji Secret Book cannot eliminate these two fierce true qi. In the past few months, these two true qi have been faintly free from my suppression and are about to break out. When they are free, it will be the day of my death."

　　Pang Jun was in mixed feelings. He didn't know how to help the old man in front of him who was related to him by blood.

　　"Your appearance and your ambition have made me, your grandfather, see the dawn of the revival of Great Yan. This is the best opportunity for the revival of Great Yan in the past hundred years. Grandpa hopes that you can inherit his will and revive our Great Yan. In the Xuanji Secret Book, there are clues to finding the treasure of Zhenzong. With your intelligence, you will definitely be able to discover the secret. You have already learned the two parts I taught you, as well as the Huangjue Temple part and the Kinkakuji part. I believe you should have learned them too. The rest is the last part of Shaolin Temple. In a month, a martial arts conference will be held in Shaoshi Mountain. At that time, you will find a way to get the last "Lankavatara Sutra", and the people of the Divine Religion will also cooperate with your actions." Pang Yingtian said excitedly.

　　Before Pang Jun could respond, he continued, "After all, most of the 'Tianyi Divine Religion' are a mob. You must get rid of the dross and retain the essence to help your great cause. So when you get the Zhenzong treasure, immediately send troops to attack the two rivers. After the tempering of blood and fire, what remains will no longer be a mob, but a group of soldiers who can fight. At that time, their commanders will naturally defect to your side in battle after battle. Through the Zhenzong treasure and the wealth that the Divine Religion people have plundered from the wealthy families in these days, your strength will be greatly improved. At that time, it will be the time for you to truly begin to dominate the world. As for the matter between you and your mother, grandpa can't care so much. Everything is a grievance. Maybe this is the characteristic of the emperors of my Murong family. Back then, Taizu Murong Jing's empress was his aunt Shen, but in order to cover up, it was deliberately changed to Shen Yujing."

　　After being told this by Pang Yingtian, Pang Jun became somewhat embarrassed, and had to bite the bullet and said, "Grandson, grandson understands." After a moment, he asked Pang Yingtian again, "Um, I don't know, I don't know if you know, when Li Shenji was in the capital that day, did he see Ning'er?"

　　"Ning'er? You mean, your daughter with Xian'er?" Pang Yingtian frowned and shook his head. "No, Li Shenji has never seen Ning'er. Actually, she is my great-granddaughter, but I have never seen her."

　　Pang Jun was a little disappointed and stopped asking.

　　Pang Yingtian said at this time: "And your aunt, Lin'er, has been under Jiuyuan's surveillance. You dared to let her stay alone in Langzhou. She also knows that you are a romantic, so in order to get you to come, she directly threatened you with Lin'er. Don't worry, Lin'er is fine. I have sent someone to send her to Yanzhou. There is another person's matter, you can handle it yourself."

　　"Who else?" Pang Jun asked puzzledly.

　　"Come with me." Pang Yingtian said, and without paying any attention to Pang Jun, he turned around and left the hall.

　　Pang Jun followed Pang Yingtian to an attic and looked out from the attic window. There was a rockery over there, covering a vast area. There were pavilions and lakes in the rockery. Going into the surrounding rockery, you can also see the lake surrounded by the rockery and the pavilion in the center of the lake. Pang Jun looked into the distance and saw a Taoist nun in the pavilion. She had a Taoist bun on her head with an ebony hairpin. Her graceful body was wrapped in a Taoist robe. Her hair was tied up high and curled. She had a unique temperament, but the thin Taoist robe could not restrain her hot body at all.

　　"Yang Chuyu?" Pang Jun quickly recognized that this Taoist nun was actually Princess Yang Chuyu of Jinting who had assassinated the late Emperor Yang Shao and had been missing for several months. At this moment, Yang Chuyu had completely changed from her previous coquettish and charming appearance. She was now clean and quiet, and was reading a book carefully.

　　Although a little surprised, Pang Jun soon got relieved. On the day at Quyang Mountain, Yang Chuyu ran away with Qin Jiuyuan and Nan Feifei, mother and daughter. It was reasonable for her to appear here.

　　Pang Yingtian nodded and said, "Yes, it's her, but in fact, her surname is not Yang, but Murong. Thirty years ago, the then Empress Guo of the Great Jin Dynasty returned to her hometown to visit her relatives. On her way home, she suddenly had an impulse and disguised herself for a private visit. She met me at that time. Something happened between the two of us, and then she got pregnant. I only found out about this from her later. As for how she used means to hide it from the people of the Yang family, I don't know the details."

　　"How do you want me to deal with it?" Pang Jun asked.

　　"I don't know either, but she now knows her own life experience, knows that her last name is Murong, and knows that Yun'er is her brother. Although she appears to be calm and quiet on the surface, she is actually heartbroken. I can't help her, but she is my daughter after all. I owe her enough and I have no face to say anything to her. I heard that she had a one-night stand with you. Can you help grandpa persuade her?" Pang Yingtian said to Pang Jun.

　　Pang Jun thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'll do my best."

　　"Okay, okay," Pang Yingtian heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left, "I'll leave her to you. After the matter is done, you can go back and prepare immediately. The matter of Shaoshi Mountain and the future of Dayan depend on you, Jun'er."

　　Pang Jun looked at Pang Yingtian's somewhat depressed back and couldn't help but shout, "Grandpa."

　　Pang Yingtian stopped but did not look back.

　　"I, will I be able to see you again in the future?" Pang Jun asked.

　　Pang Yingtian still didn't turn around. He waved his hand and left the attic. Pang Jun kept watching his figure until he disappeared.
