Hu Long was persuasive, starting with his friendship with Xie Xun, and asked him about the whole story of Cheng Kun, the "Thunderbolt Hand of Hunyuan", and the Ming Cult.
Hu Yun thought that if Cheng Kun wanted to use Yuanmeng's knife to eradicate the Mingjiao, he must first win the trust of Yuanmeng. Only if Yuanmeng believed that he and the Mingjiao had a sworn hatred would he adopt his strategy of destroying the Mingjiao. .
Hu Long remembered that Cheng Kun had taken refuge in Yuanmeng, and he was attached to Chahantemuir, the king of Ruyang. Wang Baobao, as the prince of Ruyang, was a rare talent. He could command many masters at a young age, so he was probably one of the insiders. one.
Sure enough, after a slight hesitation, Wang Baobao truthfully told the whole story he learned from Cheng Kun.
Tieguan Taoist, Budai monk, Liu Ji and even the young man Chang Yuchun all heard their expressions changing constantly and had mixed feelings in their hearts.
They finally knew that the cause of everything was the love entanglement between their leader Yang Dingtian, his wife and Cheng Kun.
It was this love affair that led to the death of the leader and his wife in the secret passage of the Guangmingding Forbidden Area. Cheng Kun's temperament changed drastically and he vowed to destroy the Ming Cult and massacre his disciple Xie Xun's family, which inspired him to commit crimes at any cost.
Over time, the Ming Cult became less and less tolerated by the martial arts world, and eventually became a demon sect where everyone shouted to fight and kill. Coupled with the internal struggle for power due to the lack of a leader, it finally became the current fragmented and decadent situation.
Moreover, Cheng Kun has not given up yet. He is incarnating as Shaolin Kong Jian, a disciple of the divine monk Yuan Zhen, and is secretly waiting for opportunities to stir up the conflict between the various sects in the world and the Ming Cult. When the two sides fight to the point of losing both sides, it will be up to Yuan Meng to clean up the mess.
In this way, for Cheng Kun, it was a life-long hatred, and for Yuan Meng, it was to eliminate the worries of his confidants.
After talking about this, Hu Yuan asked about the "Dragon Slaying Knife".
Because all the four diamonds of the "Vajra Gate" fell into the hands of Hu Long, Wang Baobao knew that he could not hide the matter, so he confided even more happily.
It turns out that as early as the fall of Xiangyang and the deaths of Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Guo Polu, the "Dragon Sword" fell into the hands of Yuan Meng and has been hidden in the palace.
When the current Emperor Yuanmeng came to the throne, Tuotuo and Chahan were favored and promoted by him. They adopted the strategy proposed by Wu Zhifang and threw out the "Dragon Slaying Sword" that had been gathering dust in the palace treasure house for many years. He also secretly built up momentum and spread the four sentences "The supreme king of martial arts, who slays the dragon with his precious sword, commands the world, and no one dares to disobey", hoping to induce the world's heroes to kill each other in a fight for the precious sword.
During this period, one of the four Vajra Sect members pretended to be a Shaolin disciple, used the pretext of questioning the whereabouts of the "Dragon Sword", and used the "Powerful Vajra Finger" to crush the bones of Yu Daiyan's limbs, which was just one of the means to add fuel to the flames.
Taoist Tieguan and the other four people heard what they heard became more and more thrilling. They never expected that Yuan Meng had planned the plan many years ago. If Xie Xun hadn't disappeared after snatching the "Dragon Slaying Sword" and accidentally messed up the situation, the world would have turned upside down. The vendetta disputes in the world would probably be ten or a hundred times more tragic than today.
Hu Yuan's questioning did not end there. He then asked about the number of hidden masters in the imperial court, their layout and arrangements in the Jianghu, and gradually asked some more profound and broad questions outside the Jianghu, such as the division of factions in the DPRK and the strength of local garrison troops. , recent political changes, etc.
As early as the beginning, Hu Long very covertly incorporated some of the "mind tricking" techniques into his words and actions, unknowingly breaking down Wang Baobao's wariness and allowing him to follow his own topic and talk about himself. Tell everything you know.
Chahan Temul, the king of Ruyang, trained his son as his heir. No matter whether it was in the court or the world, he never hid anything he handled from him. Therefore, Wang Bao ensured that he had information that ordinary people could not access.
Liu Ji on the side wrote down everything Wang Baobao said with a flying pen. At the same time, he sighed in his heart: "If the information obtained from the interrogation of Taoist Hu Yun is used properly, it will be enough to be worth tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield!"
When Wang Baobao finally realized that he had involuntarily said too many things that he shouldn't have said, the interrogation lasted for three hours. During this period, Hu Long also asked Chang Yuchun to speak to Wang Baobao, who made his lips scorched and his mouth dry. Pour tea and water.
Chang Yuchun was shocked by many things he heard. He just wanted to hear more, so he no longer had any objection to it.
Seeing Wang Baobao staring at him with eyes full of anger and a hint of fear, Hu Long finally stopped asking questions and laughed and said: "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Majesty. This information is enough. Now all that remains is to exchange people." As for people, the prince should have guessed who Pindao wants, right?"
Wang Baobao pursed his lips tightly, and it took him a long time to spit out a name: "Cheng Kun?"
Hu Long held his palm and said: "This is the person. Please write a letter to your Majesty King Ruyang. As long as Cheng Kun can be delivered to Pindao, Pindao will immediately release the prince."
Wang Baobao was silent for a while and then said: "That's not enough, you have to release all my subordinates too."
Hu Long nodded: "Yes, but the four great Vajras of the 'Vajra Sect' are not among them. They still have some debts that need to be repaid."
Wang Baobao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, but the letter needs to be delivered by the 'Xuan Ming Elders' beside me. For one thing, I can't trust others, and for the other thing, if my father wants to control Cheng Kun, he also needs someone." Expert cooperation.”
Hu Long looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have considered everything carefully, so I will follow your words."
Not long after, Wang Baobao wrote a letter and handed it to Hu Long, and then was escorted away by Chang Yuchun.
Taoist Tieguan frowned and asked, "Fellow Taoist, do you think King Ruyang will agree to this deal?"
Hu Yun was confident: "The location of this 'Lianhuan Village' was chosen extremely well. It was hidden deep in the mountains and could not be reached by large armies. A small number of elite soldiers was of no use. If the King of Ruyang wanted his son to be safe, he could only act according to the path drawn by Pindao. "
The Budai monk sighed: "Although the poor monk wants to capture Cheng Kun, skin and bones, but if Wang Baobao and hundreds of his men are exchanged for just one Cheng Kun, this transaction will cost too much."
Hu Long looked at Liu Ji who was sorting out a large pile of confessions with a smile: "Bo Wen, what do you think of this matter?"
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then calmly replied: "Junior thinks that this is the master's brilliance. This prince has extraordinary talents and is young and successful. He must not be willing to suffer the humiliation of being captured this time. Maybe he was captured on the front foot. If he is let go, he will come back with more people. But he is eager for revenge, and he will act rashly. With the wisdom of the Taoist priest, it is not difficult to make some arrangements for his psychology, and then he can be captured again! "
Hu Long laughed: "Fellow Taoist Tieguan has indeed taken on a good disciple! But Pindao has no interest in playing the escape game again. Next time we fight, he will be killed in front of the battle!"
