The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 156 Why?
Guan Yuan was also helpless. He was obviously from the Huashan sect, but he was always ignored. Whether it was Lama Sangbu or Xu Chenzi from years ago, they all called him Quanzhen boy.

Why, doesn’t the Huashan sect deserve a name? !
"The Celestial Master's Mansion is dignified, canonized by the royal family, and has been famous for thousands of years. Why do you want to work with the thieves to do such a treasonous and unethical thing?" Guan Yuan raised his sword at this time and pointed at the other party.

The surrounding guards also gradually gathered. They wanted to kill Xu Chenzi with one shot, but were stopped by Zhu Houzhao who stood up with difficulty and wanted to watch the excitement.

He patted the dust on his legs one after another, and pointed his finger at Feng Yuxiu who saved him. He didn't know whether to praise or scold him.

"This is my own business and has nothing to do with Tianshi Mansion." This was the first sentence Guan Yuan heard since meeting Xu Chenzi.

"Tianshi Mansion? Longhu Mountain?" Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to step forward to question the murderer at this time, so he could only wave to Feng Yuxiu and lean on him to ask.

"The common people don't know." Feng Yuxiu was very honest. He had never been to Sanqing Mountain with Guan Yuan, nor had he met Xu Chenzi.

Zhu Houzhao was a little disgusted.

Guan Yuan was also a little confused at this time. It was not what the Tianshi Mansion meant. What kind of grudge did you, Xu Chenzi, have against the emperor? You wanted to assassinate him?

"Don't make the mistake of yourself. What you have committed now is the crime of killing the nine tribes."

"I have already said that this is my own decision and has nothing to do with Longhu Mountain or Tianshi Mansion."

"Xu Chenzi, why did you get together with this group of people and become your pure Sanren in Longhu Mountain? Wouldn't it be a good idea for you to be a Taoist priest?"

"Why?"

As if something stung him, Xu Chenzi's tone rose a little.

"Why do I want to be a pure and carefree Taoist priest? Why is it that my surname is Zhang, but only Zhang Yanshuo can be a heavenly master?! And I can only be Xu Chenzi."

Guan Yuan was a little curious when he heard this, and if he really wanted to ask in detail, Xu Chenzi calmed down again, with a calm expression, "Now that my skills are not as good as others, don't talk too much, I will die."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and robes and rushed forward. One of the guards was unsteady in his hand, and the sharp arrow came out of the string, causing everyone who was nervous to let go.The sword rain came towards Xu Chenzi, but because it lost its formation, it was scattered and sparse.

The Taoist seized the opportunity, rolled up more than ten arrows in a pocket of his sleeves, used the same move that injured the Shaolin monk before, turned around, and threw them all at Zhu Houzhao.

After Guan Yuan stopped them all, he looked back and saw that Xu Chenzi had already escaped in the chaos.

Zhu Houzhao on the side was furious. He called the guards useless and ordered everyone to pursue them.

Fortunately, Naxu Chenzi's hand was injured and bleeding. Guan Yuan and others followed him all the way, and finally blocked him at Shaoyang Temple in the south of the city.

Seeing the pursuers arriving, Xu Chenzi turned around and took a deep look, then got into the Taoist temple.

While everyone was chasing him, Shen Lian, who was staying in the Jinyi Guard Prison, came over to report the news.Those assassins who were seriously injured failed to survive the severe punishment and died in the prison.

"Fart, how important are these criminals? Don't the executioners know!? They have a skill that has been passed down for many years, but how can they torture people to death like this?"

"This is obviously murder and silence! There must be someone behind it!"

Shen Lian cursed angrily after hearing the news. Nowadays, all the assassins are dead before they can find out the real mastermind. The only one left alive is Xu Chenzi in front of him.

Guan Yuan didn't care about anything else, he just kept an eye on Xu Chenzi. If he didn't run away elsewhere or leave the city quickly, why would he come to Shaoyang Temple?Guan Yuan had also followed Taoist Chongxu to investigate here before, and there was no suspicious person. Is there really another accomplice here to support Xu Chenzi?
He signaled the royal guards and Jinyi guards who came together to surround the small Shaoyang Temple.

He touched it in carefully. He didn't know what dangers there were here, so he didn't dare to be careless.

In the Sanqing Hall, on the futon in front of the statue, Xu Chenzi sat cross-legged alone.

Guan Yuan looked relaxed on the surface, but in reality his body was tense. He slowly stepped forward and said, "If Taoist Master insists on escaping here, does he still want to confess to Sanqing? I'm afraid it's too late."

The Taoist didn't care about Guan Yuan's teasing, "Guan Shaoxia is young and has superb martial arts skills. There are very few people in this world who can beat you. Why do you have to work for the government and fall into the trap of cliché?"

"It's just entrusted by relatives and friends." Guan Yuan found a futon and sat down slowly, "The Taoist priest also fell into the trap and was bribed by Prince Ning."

"No, no, it's not bribery, but cooperation." That Xu Chenzi shook his head gently.

I don't know if it was out of interest or for some other purpose, but Xu Chenzi told his thoughts.

It turns out that he, like the contemporary Celestial Master, was a member of the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain, but his mother was just a concubine of the previous Celestial Master.

When he was young, he had good friends with Zhang Yanshuo and Zhen Yangzi, and they hung out together every day without even realizing it.When Zhang Yanshuo took over the position of Heavenly Master when he was older, Xu Chenzi, who was delicate and thoughtful, had a gap in his heart and got into trouble.

Like he said before, why?
Why could Zhang Yanshuo inherit the position of Heavenly Master just because he was the eldest son of his wife, while he had to become a monk and remain unknown?

Why is it that Zhang Tianshi welcomes and escorts him every day and is respected by others, but he has to be a liar and deal with some shameful things for the Tianshi Mansion?

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his talent is so amazing that no one in the Zhang family can match him for generations.But even if he is so talented, he still has to be ranked based on seniority and follow Zhang Yanshuo's arrangements.

Guan Yuan is puzzled. Even so, what good can you, Xu Chenzi, do if you get mixed up with Prince Ning again?

"What's the benefit? We both have the same disease, and we are already speculating." Xu Chenzi gently stroked his thigh and told him the reason.

Since Xu Chenzi was secretly dissatisfied with his situation, he began to plot to seize the position of Heavenly Master. Unfortunately, this Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is not someone who has a big fist, and must be officially recognized.

If he seeks power and usurps the throne, he will definitely not be officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he will be forced to give up power.

At this time, Prince Ning, who was in the same situation as Xu Chenzi and had the same aspirations, came into his eyes.Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao and Xu Chenzi, who also shouted "My fate is up to me and not God, I will be the emperor tomorrow," hit it off.

King Ning promised to canonize Xu Chenzi as a contemporary heavenly master after the completion of his promise; and in return, Xu Chenzi helped King Ning solve these troubles that were not easy to deal with openly.

Therefore, Xu Chenzi, whom Guan Yuan met in Sanqing Mountain that day, was not really there to teach Mr. Liu a lesson, but was here to meet him.

He was well hidden, and Zhang Yanshuo didn't realize that his brother had already separated from the Tianshi Mansion.

Only Zhenyangzi vaguely realized that he was too thoughtful and depressed, and that he would have inner demons in the future. He really hit the mark.

"Now that your assassination has been exposed, why don't you give up?" Guan Yuan understood the cause and effect and said slowly, "If you can reveal the person behind it, the emperor may be able to spare your life."

"Those losers who were holding us back should be dead in prison now." Xu Chenzi did not respond directly. "As for you, as long as I kill you, it seems that no one here will recognize my identity as Xu Chenzi."
