The sun shone on Wu Yazi's slightly pale face. He squinted his eyes in comfort, and then looked at Song Xing with a complicated expression.
Thirty years of painstaking planning was originally intended to find a suitable disciple, inherit his mantle and seventy years of Beiming's true energy, and then get rid of Ding Chunqiu's bad breath for him.
Unexpectedly, the good young man who finally arrived was a bit too good. Before he could speak, he had already defeated Ding Chunqiu, who had been feared by Su Xinghe all his life.
Song Xing threw Ding Chunqiu to the ground and said to Wu Yazi: "Senior, you heard it. Old Monster Ding said that the founder of your sect Xiaoyaozi is still in the world. Is there anything you want to say, senior?"
Wu Yazi said: "All the Xiaoyao sect's internal skills have the effect of prolonging life. Master's skills are related to nature. He is only a hundred or thirty years old this year, so it is not unusual for him to still be in the world."
When mentioning the master Xiaoyaozi, Wu Yazi's tone was very calm. Even when Ding Chunqiu said that the plot against him was due to Xiaoyaozi's instruction, he didn't feel the slightest bit resentful.
Wu Yazi looked at Song Xing and asked again: "Master Song just said that you can't inherit the mantle of Xiaoyao Sect. Why?"
Song Xing nodded: "I am arresting the head of Liumen Pingjiang Mansion Jinzhang. The Xiaoyao sect is plotting something evil. Of course Song doesn't agree with it."
Wu Yazi looked at Song Xingdao: "So Mr. Song is also aware of the Xiaoyao Sect's actions?"
Song Xingdan said calmly: "If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself."
Wu Yazi sighed: "Back then, I was in such a bad situation because of the Song Dynasty court. Today, you who broke my chess game are actually from the Sixth Gate. Shi Ye is also destined! Mr. Song, do you want to hear about my incompetent old man? , why did it fall to this point?"
Song Xing nodded: "I would like to hear the details."
He had a hunch that because of his and Ding Chunqiu's intervention, the facts that Wu Yazi said next might be inconsistent with the version that Xu Zhu heard in the original plot.
Wu Yazi sat in the sky, his eyes a little distracted, and he fell into memories: "Seventy years ago, the master said that he obtained the secret book of the supreme magical power from the Changchun Valley of the Eternal Age, founded the Xiaoyao Sect at the Piaomiao Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, and accepted four disciple."
"I was adopted by my master since I was a child and grew up in the Xiaoyao sect. What I learned every day were all kinds of magical skills and secret arts of the Xiaoyao sect. My master is a scholar of heaven and man. There is almost nothing in this world that he can't do. Even if we are diligent in studying, we can't do it." Even if you drop out, what you have mastered will not be as good as Master Shizhen."
When mentioning the master Xiaoyaozi, Wuyazi's tone was full of respect and admiration.
"But I have never seen a smile on his face. Apart from teaching us martial arts on a daily basis, he spends most of his time running around and is never seen. I didn't know what he was busy and pursuing all day long. I'm practicing martial arts with my junior sisters in Tianshan, and I think it's not bad that I can live like this for a lifetime."
"It wasn't until we came of age that Master finally revealed his purpose of founding the Xiaoyao Sect. Only then did I know that Master wanted a few of me to scatter around the world, waiting for opportunities to stir up chaos in the world."
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Song Xing's eyes. He guessed the beginning correctly. It was the Xiaoyao faction who was hiding behind the scenes and trying to stir up chaos in the world.
But the one who really planned all of this was not Wu Yazi, but Xiaoyaozi, the founder of Xiaoyao Sect.
Wu Yazi looked at the expressionless Song Xing and continued: "Master ordered Sister Wizard to rule Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Islands in Tianshan Mountain, ordered Junior Sister Li to go to Xixia, and asked me to secretly control the border between Song Dynasty and Dali. Collect martial arts secrets from all the sects in the world, and wait for the opportunity to use these secrets to coerce various sects, and raise the banner of rebellion to overthrow the Song Dynasty."
Hearing this, Song Xing finally couldn't help but ask: "Senior, do you dare to ask about the name of our respected master?"
Wu Yazi cupped his fists and bowed to the north, and said, "My master's surname is Pan Lang, and his name is Xiaoyaozi. This is why the name of Xiaoyao sect comes from this."
"Pan Lang!" Song Xing was really shocked this time.
Pan Lang is a character recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Song history records that Pan Lang had an arrogant character and twice committed suicide. However, Zhenzong acquitted him of his crime and allowed him to join the army in Chuzhou.
This man was born in the early years of the Song Dynasty. After becoming an official, he participated in two rebellions, but was miraculously acquitted. It can be called a legendary life of cheating.
In the seventh year of Taiping's rejuvenation of the country, when Lu Duoxun was prime minister, he planned to make Qin Wang Zhao Tingmei emperor, and Pan Lang participated in his plan. Later, Lu Duoxun and the King of Qin were defeated, and Pan Lang was implicated and hunted. Pan Lang hid his traces.
In the first year of Zhidao, Pan Lang was summoned by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty on the recommendation of the eunuch Wang Jien, and was granted the title of Jinshi and four assistant teachers of the Imperial Academy.
Before Taizong died, Pan Lang, Wang Jien, political counselor Li Changling, privy councilor Zhao Rong, and Zhizhigao Hu Dan planned to make Taizu's grandson Weiji the emperor.
After the defeat, Zhenzong came to the throne and executed Wang Jien and others. Pan Lang was imprisoned. Zhenzong intervened, arrested and interrogated, and was soon released. He was appointed to join the army in addition to the state, and died in office soon after.
According to historical records, the time of Pan Lang's death was exactly more than seventy years ago, which exactly coincides with the time when the Xiaoyao sect was founded.
Song Xing never expected that the man behind the scenes he was tracking would be related to Pan Lang, who had been dead for seventy years.
It seems that after experiencing the failure of the first two rebellions, Pan Lang, a rebel professional, learned from the experience of failure, assumed the name Xiaoyaozi, secretly founded the Xiaoyao sect, and slowly planned to provoke chaos in the world and wait for an opportunity to overthrow the Song Dynasty court.
Wu Yazi saw Song Xing's surprised expression and said, "It seems that Mr. Song has also heard of the name of the master."
Song Xing admitted: "Yes, I just didn't expect that Pan Lang turned out to be Xiaoyaozi. It seems that the motive for the establishment of the Xiaoyao sect was to overthrow the Song Dynasty. No wonder there were arrangements in places such as Xixia, Dali, Tubo, etc. It must be Xiaoyaozi Knowing that the rule of the Song Dynasty was stable, we could not start from within, so we had to rely on external forces."
"If that's the case, does it seem that Master Lai of Daliao also has a back-up plan?"
Wu Yazi nodded and said, "I heard from my master that a Khitan named Xiao was selected among the nobles of the Liao Kingdom to teach him the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts. He was considered a registered disciple of the Xiaoyao sect."
The name of Xiao Yuanshan suddenly appeared in Song Xing's mind. Xiao Yuanshan's master was an unnamed Song man. If it was passed down by Xiaoyaozi himself, Xiao Yuanshan's superb martial arts would make sense.
Song Xing was confused and said: "The master's plan is so far-reaching. Once it is launched, it may really cause chaos in the world. As the second generation leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, the senior should be his most valued person. Why would he let Ding Chunqiu kill you?" ?”
Wu Yazi said: "Perhaps it's because I went against my master's wishes. Although I secretly collected a large number of martial arts secrets, I couldn't bear to see the world in chaos. So I have been hiding in Wuliang Mountain, unwilling to stir up trouble in the Song Dynasty. There was a huge chaos, maybe because Master saw what I was thinking and was disappointed, he ordered Ding Chunqiu to sneak attack on me."
Hearing this, Ding Chunqiu, who had been silent until now, raised his head and said loudly: "That's right, Wu Yazi, you have received great kindness from our master, but you don't want to repay it. Going against the wishes of the ancestor is tantamount to betraying the Xiaoyao sect. The ancestor found me and ordered I secretly got rid of you, but it’s a pity that you are so lucky that you still survive to this day.”
Xiaoyaozi plans to conquer the world, but his disciples like Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe love peace and indulge in music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, so naturally he is not happy about it.
Song Xing just didn't expect that Ding Chunqiu's plot against Wu Yazi was not based on personal grudges, but was also mixed with disputes within the Xiaoyao sect.
Wu Yazi was furious and scolded Ding Chunqiu angrily: "Stop, you traitor. Master treats me with great kindness. If you want to take my life, Wu Yazi will kill himself in front of the master. It must be you, a villain." You are flattering and lying in front of me to confuse the Master."
Ding Chunqiu was under the control of others and sneered without arguing with Wu Yazi.
Song Xing turned around and asked Ding Chunqiu: "When you went to Tubo to establish the Xingxiu Sect, was it also under Xiaoyaozi's instruction?"
Ding Chunqiu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "After I attacked this old thief secretly, the Patriarch asked me to go to Tubo to found the sect, make friends with the Tubo nobles, and keep in touch with Uncle Li of Xixia at all times. When the Patriarch rises up, we will bloom everywhere and respond in groups."
Song Xing added: "But the fact is that in the past thirty years, although there have been occasional frictions between countries, there has been no major war, let alone chaos. It was you who betrayed Xiaoyaozi again, or Xiaoyaozi's Something went wrong with the plan?”
