Chapter 140 Taiyi
Back at the inn, many people in the inn had already woken up due to the sound of fighting, but luckily they were calmed down.

Seeing Chen Shuai, Kong Shui and others looked at each other. Chen Shuai came to Zhenming. The other person just wanted to commit suicide in front of him, but he stopped him. Now seeing Chen Shuai, panic flashed in his eyes.

"Jie Shuai, what happened in the past was my fault, and I don't beg you to let me go. I just hope you can give me a happy life."

Zhen Ming said, judging from Chen Shuai's methods of stopping him, Chen Shuai's strength has surpassed him now. What's more, there are still many monks from Futu Temple here, and he can't escape at all.

After hearing this, Kong Shui and others seemed to want to say something, but in the end they fell silent. They looked at Chen Shuai and handed over all decisions to Chen Shuai. Chen Shuai shook his head and said:
"I'm not interested in killing you, but I do want to know why those demons disguise themselves as human warriors and hunt you down. If you know, you might as well tell me."

Hearing this, Zhen Ming sighed, and then said: "I didn't know that they were actually demons pretending to be demons. As for the fact that they want to hunt me down, it's because I am the son of the Holy Religion and they are from the government. Since the Holy Religion, The uprising failed and was completely suppressed by the army, so our people moved to fight in various places and hide their identities."

"I just didn't expect that these people are so capable that they wiped out all of our hidden branches. Even the location of our headquarters was discovered. They have wiped out all of us, and now only some real core figures are left to escape. "

"After the main altar was destroyed, three guardians took me away, but on the way to protect me, all three of them were killed, and I was the only one left. Because I was weak, they kept chasing me. Me, they just chase but don’t kill, they abuse me like a cat or a dog.”

"If it weren't for meeting you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive tonight."

After Zhen Ming finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence. After hearing Zhen Ming admit his identity, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become weird. At first, they were still lucky, but now it was confirmed by Zhen Ming himself.

"Do you know the identities of these people?"

After listening to Zhen Ming's story, Chen Shuai didn't feel anything unusual. Since the Taiping Religion was suppressed, the imperial court had used the general trend to dismantle other rebel forces one by one. It was normal for the Holy Religion to be wiped out.

The only thing that puzzled him was the identity and purpose of the three people.

"They are an army under Yu Chiping. This army is composed of warriors and is very powerful."

After thinking for a moment, Zhen Ming said.

"Yu Chiping?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Chen Shuai asked again: "How many people are there in the army this time?"

"At least a thousand people!"

Zhen Ming seemed to have guessed something and said something with a pale face.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be startled, and their breathing suddenly became rapid. Are there thousands of such alchemy warriors?

What if these warriors are not human?
hiss.

Thinking of this, even if everyone chants sutras and chants Buddha's name every day, they can't help but take a breath.

If it is what they think, it is really terrible.

Monsters and humans are natural enemies, but now that there are so many monsters sneaking into the army, their plans are definitely not trivial.

"Where are they now?" Chen Shuai asked after being silent for a while.

"They have left. It is said that they are returning to the capital in order to prepare for the Demon Slaying Conference. I heard it by chance. I don't know the specific purpose, but I saw them leaving with my own eyes. I just didn't expect that these guys would stay behind after they left." Several people lured us out and killed us."

Having said this, Zhen Ming was a little angry and regretful. It was all because he was too careless and fell into the other party's trick, which led to the total destruction of the remaining Holy Cult disciples.

After hearing this, Chen Shuai subconsciously ignored Zhen Ming's dissatisfaction. Since he chose the Demon Sect to be the enemy of the imperial court, he had to bear the price. There was no use regretting it.

"Demon Slayer Convention!"

His attention was attracted by the four words spoken by Zhen Ming. Not only him, but also the others were all stunned when they heard the four words "Demon Slayer Conference". How could this matter be related to the Demon Slayer Conference again? ?
"What's wrong?" Zhen Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw something was wrong with everyone's faces.

Zhenwu hesitated for a long time, and finally replied: "We are going out this time to participate in the Demon Slaying Conference."

"Participating in the Demon Slaying Conference? If those warriors are all demons pretending to be demons, wouldn't you just throw yourself into a trap?" Zhen Ming exclaimed.

Everyone's expressions turned ugly when they heard this, because they had also thought of this, and they thought more about it than their true lives.

The Demon Slaying Conference was held by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and the supporter behind the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was the imperial court. In other words, the Demon Slaying Conference was organized by the imperial court.

Now that Yuchiping is returning to the capital with this army, it is because of the Demon Slaying Conference. If the warriors in this army are all demons, doesn't it mean that the capital has already been invaded by demons?
So what kind of demons are being killed in this demon-slaying convention?
In other words, was it really the demon that was being slaughtered?

Thinking hard.

Afterwards, Chen Shuai chatted with Zhen Ming for a few more words, and then handed Zhen Ming over to Kong Shui. After Kong Shui inquired about it, he planned to let Zhen Ming go. No one had any objections.

After Zhen Ming healed his wounds, he said goodbye to everyone, got up and left before dawn. Now that the Holy Cult was exterminated, Zhen Ming was finally free. What happens next depends on his own fate.

After leaving Sanwen City, the group of people hurried on the road with a lot of thoughts. Along the way, the security on the official road was much better, and there was a faintly prosperous scene. They didn't see many monsters while walking along the way.

"Eminent monks, are you monks from the Buddha Temple?" Everyone came to an inn to rest. While eating, they suddenly heard a voice and thought. When they turned around, they turned out to be several Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes.

"We are, how many Taoist priests are from the Taiyi Sect?" Kong Shui recognized the other party's clothes, his face changed involuntarily, he stood up and clasped his hands together.

Taiyi Sect is a Taoist force in the southern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In terms of status, it is equivalent to Xuankong Sect. Xuankong Sect is known as the first Buddhist power in the southern region. Side by side with it is Taiyi Sect, the first Taoist power.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, eminent monks, I am a poor Taoist." The Taoist leader said his name. He was holding Buddha dust. He looked no younger than Kong Shui, but his face looked very young, but his temples were covered with white. Hair, with the appearance of a childlike face and crane hair.

Kong Shui had heard of You Xuan's reputation and told him his own name: "The young monk Kong Shui has long heard of the name of Taoist Master You Xuan. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved."

Hearing these familiar words, Chen Shuai's eyelids couldn't help but jump. After the two sides boasted to each other for a while, Youxuan asked: "Master, are you also here to participate in the Demon Slaying Conference?"

Kong Shui nodded. Since the court invited Futu Temple this time, it would naturally also invite Xuankong Temple and Taiyimen. After all, the status of the three is not much different.

"Haha, it seems that this demon-slaying conference is very lively. I heard that not only Buddhist disciples, but also Taoists and many powerful forces were invited." Youxuan stroked his beard and smiled, talking cheerfully.

"Oh? Can the Taoist Master tell me what the imperial court intends to do by holding the Demon Slaying Conference this time?" Kong Shui couldn't help but ask after hearing that Yuxuan seemed to know a lot about the Demon Slaying Conference.

"You don't know? That's right. You are a bit far away from the capital. According to the information we heard, it is said that the reason why the Demon Slaying Conference was held this time was because of the Imperial Court. Demons were mixed into the Imperial Court, and the demons were finally killed. Caught it, the emperor was furious, so he held a demon-slaying convention."

Youxuan said calmly. His simple words not only did not relieve everyone's doubts, but made them more curious. He did not show off and told everyone the whole story of the Demon Slaying Conference.

It turned out that three months ago, the emperor was seriously ill, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. Because of this, many people believed that the emperor was about to die, and some forces began to get ready to take action. As a result, many wars broke out in various places. They planned to take advantage of the old and new When the emperors changed, they took advantage of the situation and overthrew the Zhou Dynasty.

But no one expected that the emperor not only did not die of illness in the end, but was cured of his stubborn illness by a folk doctor, sweeping away the dark clouds in the capital. After the emperor was cured, he killed all the rebellious officials and traitors, and sent a large army to suppress the four sides.

Not only did it wipe out the previous decline, but it also eradicated many unstable factors and purged the entire Zhou Dynasty inside and outside. The blood flowed like a river. It is said that there were so many corpses in the mass graves in the capital that day. Can't let go.

And the reason why the demon-slaying conference was held was still related to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor died after curing the emperor. When the emperor learned about this, he was furious. He died before he could reward him. Well, the most important thing is that the imperial doctor died in the palace.

This made the emperor even more angry, so he sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly. The investigation lasted for three days and three nights. The palace was full of panic. Finally, the cause of death of the imperial doctor was found out. It turned out that he was killed under the order of the queen.

It stands to reason that this matter should end here. After all, the queen is the emperor's wife, and the emperor will not pursue the matter too much. But the bad thing is that the three days of investigation have revealed not only this, but also There is a reason for the emperor's illness.

It’s about the Queen!
To be precise, it has something to do with demons.

The queen's true identity was a vixen. After learning about this, the emperor was furious and the whole capital trembled.

Fortunately, the prince is not a demon, otherwise, countless people in the palace would be dead.

After capturing the demon, the emperor realized that the queen had been killed by the demon a long time ago, and the demon had been living in the palace for almost a year.

After investigating the cause and effect of the incident, the emperor directly ordered a demon-slaying convention to let everyone in the world see how demons were killed by the imperial court.

In addition, the emperor also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to tell the devils in the world that this was the fate of being an enemy of the imperial court.

After listening to Taoist Priest Youxuan's story, although everyone knew the cause and effect, they still had their own thoughts. Yuchiping's matter was like a thorn in the side. Although Youxuan's story was logically consistent, everyone was still confused.

It's just that they didn't express their thoughts.

After chatting for a while, Kong Shui suddenly looked at Taoist Master Youxuan and asked, "I wonder if you know where the eminent monk from Xuankong Temple has arrived?"

Taiyimen and Xuankong Temple are close to each other. Although the relationship is not very good, it is not bad. When he saw Taiyimen this time, Kong Shui mentioned it casually, but he did not expect that this casual question would make Youxuan reveal himself. A look of surprise.

"Don't you know?" This time, Youxuan was really a little surprised. If Futu Temple was located in a remote location, it would be fine if he didn't know about the Demon Slaying Conference. However, Xuankong Temple was of the same lineage as them, and the other party didn't know either.

Kong Shui was confused when he saw this, but he still explained: "Taoist Priest Youxuan didn't know something. Luozhou encountered a Taiping Sect rebellion some time ago, and Futu Temple was implicated as a result. Its power was not as strong as before, until the Taiping Sect was annihilated. That’s when things got a little better.”

"I see. I am also aware of the Taiping Sect. I just didn't expect it to cause so much trouble. To be honest, Xuankong Temple suffered the same disaster as you. It's just that you survived, but Xuankong Temple did not survive."

"What?" Kong Shui was surprised, "Is the Xuankong Temple already there?"

"That's almost it. Tens of thousands of monks in the entire temple were all slaughtered by the Reincarnation Cult. Even if there were any left alive, I don't know where they escaped."

The Purana Cult, like the Taiping Cult, is an uprising rebel force. Although it is not as powerful as the Taiping Cult, it is still the second largest force. The Purana Cult has not been completely wiped out by the imperial court until now, and it is very tenacious.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. It was really sad that the huge Hanging Temple was destroyed in this rebellion.

Seemingly noticing that Kong Shui and others were not in high spirits, Youxuan suggested: "Master, we are still far away from the capital, why don't you and I go together? It would be nice to have someone to look after us on the way."

After Kong Shui and others heard this, they were convinced. In this way, Youxuan took many disciples from Taiyi Sect and walked with everyone in Futu Temple. Because of the participation of these people, Chen Shuai did not sweep the floor along the way, allowing Zhenwu and others to take a moment. Somewhat disappointed.

However, the journey was a little more fun. The disciples of Taiyi Sect and the disciples of Futu Temple gradually became familiar with each other because of their frequent martial arts competitions.

During the competition, Chen Shuai also learned the names of some Taoist priests.

For example, the Taoist priest who often competes with Zhenwu and whose strength is comparable is called Qingxu. The two are about the same age and both have the same level of strength, so they don't know each other without fighting, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

"Zhenwu, you and I are of equal strength, but your experience with moves is far better than mine. It seems that I have to practice hard to defeat you. Wait until next time. Next time I fight you, I will definitely defeat you." "." Qingxu couldn't help but say as he fought against Zhenwu and was repelled by Zhenwu again.

Zhenwu smiled: "You have said this no less than five times, but you have been defeated by me every time. You should go back and practice again, haha."

Hearing this, Qingxu Qi's hair was smoking, but he had no choice but to stop. Zhenwu came to the other party, patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted: "Actually, you are also very good. If it weren't for the fact that I have an expert Guidance, I’m afraid I may not be your opponent.”

"Oh, what kind of expert?" Qingxu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

Zhenwu waved his hand and smiled mysteriously: "Buddha said, don't say it!"
