The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 200 Conspiracy
Chen Anbang said that he had seen the face of the cursed freak, which was very similar to the portraits of the ancestors of the Xuanmen sect.

After listening to it, I finally understood why Gongshuqi and ancestor Zhao Dengtang were so nervous at the beginning. What they saw in their eyes was not only the cursed freak, but also not only the disaster that might bring to the world, but also the reputation of the Taoist sages.

Just imagine, if the area around Chenqiao hadn't been sealed off at the beginning, if the news got out, it would definitely shake the foundation of the Taoist sect and set off a bloodbath.

And I finally know why Longhushan did not follow the instructions of the ancestors, but chose to close the gate of the mountain and not interfere with this matter.

It was Zhang Heng, the second-generation celestial master of Longhu Mountain, who proposed to re-take the road of ascension to immortality. He led those Taoist sages to this underground world, so the sages became such freaks, and Longhushan could not escape the responsibility!
If this secret is released, the Taoist sect will definitely be blown up, even Longhushan, the leader of the Taoist sect, cannot withstand such a thunderstorm.

"Dengtang, now you can understand the cause and effect, and know how far-reaching and far-reaching this matter is, right?" Chen Anbang asked me solemnly.

I remained silent, and he continued: "Although what happened here back then cannot be completely restored, we can deduce one or two things through the clues we have."

"Heavenly Master Zhang Heng should have learned from his father Zhang Daoling that the reason why it is difficult to become a fairy in the world is because there is an array of artifacts in the ground that blocks the road to immortality, so he led the masters of the three religions to gather here."

"They came across the cauldron very quickly, but because there were no masters of the Luban Sect in the team, they failed to decipher the secrets of the tripod scriptures. So they left three masters of the Three Religions to guard the cauldron, and the rest continued to move forward, and finally arrived in front of the moat of Yanglong City."

"These people are masters of the Xuanmen. Although the Xuanmen at that time did not have the scale of later generations, the spiritual energy of the world at that time was far more lush than it is now. Those masters of the Xuanmen actually possessed the way of ascension. From their eyes, they can naturally see that if they want to ascend, they must cross the river and enter the ancient city."

"And the ending is also obvious. Under the union of those people, although most of them were sacrificed and their corpses sank in the moat. However, a group of people succeeded in ascension. However, after ascension, they did not become the immortals they dreamed of, but became that cursed freak."

Hearing this, I had goose bumps all over my body, and I was a little at a loss for a while.

Chengxian turned into a monster, which really broke the dreams of all Taoists.

In addition to being horrified, I suddenly became enlightened.Chen Anbang's words made the puzzle clear. Although these are just his speculations, they are obviously very close to the truth.

But soon I realized something was wrong, and I immediately wondered: "Anbang, it's not right. Didn't you say that Yanglongcheng and Queyimen were used to suppress those freaks? But from the analysis just now, it is the Yanglongcheng and Queyimen that existed first, and then cursed freaks."

Chen Anbang said straightforwardly: "The two do not conflict, and they can even make some unreasonable things reasonable."

"Grandfather Shuban must have discovered the terrifying conspiracy behind his ascension to immortality, so he built Yanglongcheng and Queyimen. If you want to ascend to immortality, you must come to Yanglongcheng. This is also a disguised way to interrupt the road to immortality."

"So the original purpose of Yanglongcheng and Queyimen was to block the road to immortality, and they never wanted to be found here by a group of Taoist masters. They wanted to forcibly open the road to immortality, but they lost to the layout of the ancestor master, and became the curse freaks, and were finally sealed in the back door of Yanglongcheng."

I nodded and said, "Anbang, what you said is very reasonable, and I agree with your analysis. But there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it, and you may not be happy if I say it."

Chen Anbang smiled freely and said, "But it's okay to say."

Then I said: "You are a descendant of Gongshu's lineage, and sometimes you will subconsciously side with Gongshuban. But logically speaking, if ascending to immortality is really a conspiracy, why doesn't he reveal this secret to the public and let the whole Taoist sect help resolve the conspiracy? Instead, he fought alone, and even killed so many masters of the Taoist sect. Doesn't this make the descendants of the Taoist sect jump from one pit into another deeper pit?"

Chen Anbang seemed to have guessed that I would have such an idea, and immediately said: "Isn't there a clue for future generations to lack a school and raise a dragon city? The reason why so many people were killed is because they failed to see through the situation of the ancestor master and insisted on going their own way. Such people are not qualified to continue to contact the conspiracy of ascending immortals."

"Dengtang, I know it's inhumane to say this, but the reality is so cruel. If a group of ignorant people are not sacrificed, more and more people may die in it."

I sighed, it was not unreasonable to say so.And this is also the behavior style of Lubanjiao. There is no absolute distinction between good and evil. They only do what they think is right.

At this time, Chen Anbang said again: "Dengtang, I know you still have doubts, and you are not willing to fully believe my speculation. That's because you have never entered the cauldron, and you don't know what kind of world is inside the cauldron."
