Chapter 742: Endless Twists and Turns 4k

Seeing the subtle change in Chu Mu's expression, Yu Zecheng hesitated for a while and said tentatively: "Disciple heard that this secret realm controlled by the Wang family was once under the control of the sect. However, the Wang family's ambition usurped the control of the secret realm. …”

"But as far as the disciples know, its secret realm control core is still within the sect system, but it has been forcibly blocked and hidden by the Wang family..."

Hearing this, Chu Mu was surprised: "Where did junior brother learn about it?"

Yu Zecheng hesitated for a while and couldn't help but glance around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he carefully transmitted the message: "During the Battle of Langya, I was ordered to guard the tent in the camp. I was fortunate enough to hear that our sect's crown prince Talk and hear a few words..."

Chu Mu frowned slightly and glanced around subconsciously. When he asked again, the conversation also changed to voice transmission: "Junior brother, how much do you know about this secret realm?"

"This disciple doesn't know much. Apart from what I just said, everything else I know is basically information recorded in the history of the sect."

"This disciple has grown up in a sect, and what he likes most is some of the secret history of our sect..."

"Tell me about it."

Chu Mu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Yu Zecheng pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "According to the historical records of our sect, 18,000 years ago, the sect at that time, for unknown reasons, suddenly decided to open up the countries in the southwest. Strategy, for this reason, the sect at that time mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources to the southwest..."

"And this secret realm was also moved to the southwest at that time to provide support and guarantee for the southwest strategy..."

"The existence of the Langya Wang Family came to prominence at that time, and the dispute in the southwest skyrocketed..."

"According to the sect's historical records, the southwest strategy was carried out extremely smoothly. Today's Caiyun counties, and even Xiangyin and Zunshan inland, were not the territory of Da Chu in the past, but were It belongs to the territory of some small countries in the southwest..."

"But after the first ancestor of the Wang family was promoted to the Supreme Prince of our sect and was ordered to sit in the southwest and coordinate our southwest strategy, our sect's development of the southwest countries slowly came to a standstill..."

"At that time, in the Hanhai, a large-scale beast tide that had not been seen in a thousand years happened to break out. In the Xingluo Grassland, the divided grassland tribes were also ready to move, with obvious intentions of going south. The sect's energy was involved, and the situation in the southwest has also changed since then. It gradually evolved into the leadership of the Wang family..."

"Although this secret realm is still under the jurisdiction of the sect in name, in fact, it has gradually become a private existence controlled by the Wang family..."

"It was from that era that the Langya Wang Family slowly became entrenched in the southwest and became a cancer within the sect that is difficult to remove..."

"But before the rebellion of the five tribes, although the Wang family dominated the southwest, it was still under the jurisdiction of the clan in name."

"When the disciple was building the foundation at the beginning of the year, the sect organized many disciples to enter this secret realm for trials. The disciple was also lucky enough to enter it once. The order of authority of the sect is still the same in that secret realm. Still effective…”

"Judging from the situation at the time, although the secret realm has been controlled by the Wang family, its internal order is still within the sect system..."

"Although so many years have passed, it shouldn't be so easy for the Wang family to completely erase the sect's existence in that secret realm..."

Chu Mu was thoughtful and then asked, "What is the purpose of that secret realm?"

"This secret world was originally moved there specifically for the southwest strategy. At that time, the Gu Dao in the southwest countries was much more prosperous than it is now. The Gu Dao was mysterious and mysterious, and it had a great impact on the sect's southwest strategy. obstacles..."

"The existence of this secret realm is to collect and fill the Gu Dao system and evolve the trial place so that the disciples of our sect can more quickly adapt to the weirdness of the Gu Dao monks after arriving in the southwest, and accelerate the development of the southwest..."

"However, according to rumors, this secret realm was later under the control of the Wang family. Except for a small part of the trial area, most of the rest of the place was changed to other uses. The specific details have not been recorded in the history of the sect. , it’s still unclear…”

Chu Mu was thoughtful. He really didn't pay much attention to the history of Changsheng Sect.

From this sentence, it is obviously not difficult to see.

After the civil strife that year, the Changsheng Sect became highly centralized after the great changes. It strictly prohibited the existence of forces tied to family blood, and why they suppressed the internal affairs with high pressure.

Just like today's Southwest Immortal Cultivation World, or even other territories in Da Chu, even if he, Chu Mu, has been stationed in one place for a long time and has a family connected by his own blood, then there is no doubt that his family will also He will prosper with his power within the Changsheng Sect, and he will inevitably abolish public affairs for personal reasons, and will gradually use his family to usurp the interests of the sect.

Even if he doesn't have many ideas, his descendants obviously don't. After each generation, the gap between the family and the sect will inevitably become more obvious, and the conflict of interests will inevitably become more irreconcilable.

In the end, the irreversible point will be the recurrence of the eternal civil strife.

Even under the current highly centralized system of Changsheng Sect, this possibility is not completely impossible.

After all, for Weili to focus on his own great power, any supervision mechanism is undoubtedly extremely fragile and ineffective.

Chu Mu thought for a moment, but after just a moment, his thoughts returned to the secret realm.

If he goes by what Yu Zecheng said in front of him, this secret realm is obviously not as terrifying as he thought.

After all, from the perspective of the internal system of Changsheng Sect, it is not difficult to see that the internal system of Changsheng Sect is completely modeled after the system of Tiangong with Tianxin as the core.

The only difference is that there is no Tiangong Yunzan.

Inside Changsheng Sect, a system similar to Tianxin Order is built with Changshengtian as the core.

Everything depends on authority, and it is an automatic recognition authority.

That secret realm once belonged to Changsheng Sect, so there is no doubt that Changsheng Sect must have the highest control authority in it.

This authority must be rooted in the core of the secret realm and it is basically impossible to erase.

Just like when he was in the Demon Realm and refined the Heart of the Demon Realm, even if the Demon Realm is still under the control of the True Demon, his influence on the Demon Realm still exists.

This is also the fundamental reason why the True Demon stared at him and had to put him to death.

And he was just refining the Heart of the Demon Realm at the beginning, and the True Demon followed and took away the control.

Not to mention the secret realm where the treasure of the Changsheng Sect is located...

The connection between them must be even closer and more difficult to erase.

In this case, if this is really to recapture the secret realm...

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and after a little thought, he suppressed these thoughts.

At the moment, for him, the truth of the secret realm is obviously not important.

The important thing is still the silk Gu.

This Gu is the key to him at the moment!

"If you have time, please sort out the information related to the secret realm. If it is true, Chu can also prepare in advance."

Yu Zecheng immediately responded: "Don't worry about the true teaching, I understand."

Chu Mu nodded, and did not talk too much. After a few greetings, his figure flashed and he walked out of the lobby of the government office. The light of escape swept across the sky and went straight to the Xianyunju again.

When the light of escape dissipated, Chu Mu landed in front of Xianyunju. A maid who had obviously been waiting for a long time came to greet him quickly and reported softly.

"The true disciple, Jinghua Zhenren has arrived, at..."

Chu Mu nodded, looked up at the closed wooden window on the second floor of Xianyunju, and then took a step out. The next moment, he appeared in the center of the room he had previously decided on.

"Jinghua greets the true disciple."

As soon as Chu Mu appeared, Jinghua Zhenren hurriedly stood up and walked forward to bow.

"Daoyou, there is no need to be polite."

Chu Mu raised his hand and helped Jinghua Zhenren up.

"I am bothering you this time because I have something important to ask of you. I hope you will not mind."

Hearing this, Master Jinghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Just tell me what you want, Jinghua will do it!"

"Hahaha, that's not the case."

Chu Mu shook his head, and without too much politeness, he raised his hand and took out the jade slip of the silk Gu that Jinghua had previously identified: "Do you still remember this jade slip?"

Master Jinghua said uncertainly: "This is... the ancient Gu recipe that Master Jinghua had identified before?"

Chu Mu put down the jade slip, took a sip of tea, and then asked leisurely: "Do you know the source of this Gu recipe?"

Master Jinghua looked at Chu Mu in doubt, hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "I don't know what Master means by this?"

Chu Mu smiled: "Brother Yan Ming, you should be familiar with it, right?"

"Yan Zhen Chuan..."

Jing Hua was slightly startled, and then hurriedly said: "Jing family... Qiuniu Business did have an intersection with Yan Zhen Chuan in the past."

"Speaking of which, Qiuniu Business was able to gain a foothold in the southwest, thanks to Yan Zhen Chuan's generosity..."

After some polite words that were not sure whether they were true or false, Jing Hua asked carefully: "May I ask Zhen Chuan, is this jade slip from Yan Zhen Chuan's hand?"

Chu Mu nodded: "This Gu recipe was obtained by Chu from Brother Yan Ming."

"Before, the identification of the Gu recipe was blocked, so Chu sent a message to Brother Yan to ask..."

Having said this, Chu Mu did not say anything more. It was impossible for Jing Hua not to understand his implicit meaning.

"This..."

Jinghua hesitated for a long time before he slowly said: "To be honest with you, the ancient Gu Cultivation Cave Ruins back then were actually a personal opportunity for Brother Jingyu, not owned by the clan..."

"Therefore, when Brother Jingyu and Yan Zhenchuan explored the ancient cave ruins together, Jinghua and the elders of the clan did not dare to ask too much, fearing that it would involve the secrets of Brother Jingyu's cultivation, and did not dare to peek into Yan Zhenchuan..."

Chu Mu nodded slightly, he believed this.

The fact that the Jing family of Qiuniu could successfully preserve its inheritance under the trend of the sky was all in Yan Ming's mind. Smart people do smart things, and they obviously cannot ask more about things they should not know. Even if they hear it, they will just pretend to be deaf.

Then, Chu Mu asked again: "Why didn't Fellow Daoist Jingyu come to participate in this Gu Dao Conference?"

"Brother Jingyu..."

Jinghua's face was gloomy: "Brother Jingyu has been dead for many years."

After these words came out, Chu Mu, who was still a little leisurely, suddenly froze. He turned his head and looked at Jinghua with a sharp gaze, as if he was trying to identify the truth of these words.

Seeing Chu Mu's expression, Jinghua asked carefully: "True Transmission, you should know about the rebellion of Wang Yu last year, right?"

Chu Mu frowned: "That Wang family Gu cultivator?"

"Yes."

Jinghua nodded, his face became more gloomy: "Last year, that evil cultivator was in chaos, and our company followed the order of the garrison to cooperate in hunting down the thief of Wang Yu."

"Brother Jingyu... unfortunately fell into the hands of that thief of Wang Yu."

"Fang Zhenshou was also present at the time and witnessed it with his own eyes..."

At this point, Jinghua's expression became obviously gloomy.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Chu Mu's expression was also a little uncertain. Although it was not the right time to ask more questions at this time, he pondered for a while and asked: "Fellow Daoist Jingyu, did you leave any..."

"After Junior Brother Jingyu died, our clan also counted Junior Brother Jingyu's cave, but there was nothing to gain."

"According to the photo records sent by Fang Zhenshou at that time, after Junior Brother Jingyu was killed by the thief of the Wang family, the body and soul were all swept away by the thief..."

"Practitioners are often accustomed to carrying all their belongings with them, and Junior Brother Jingyu is no exception..."

At this point, Master Jinghua handed over a jade slip, and the photo screen emerged, which was the full record of the pursuit of Wang Yu at that time.

From the time Jingyu was summoned, all the cultivators gathered, and then searched for Wang Yu's traces and worked together to surround and kill him...

Scene after scene, no matter how big or small, all appeared in the picture.

Finally, the picture showed the death of Jingyu Zhenren. The arrogant man rolled up his sleeves and put the body into his bag. Several Jindan surrounded him, but were repelled one by one by the man.

After that, the man's figure flickered, like a ghost. Even with many formations, it was difficult to lock his traces. Several Jindan who surrounded him could only watch helplessly as the man fled.

Only a trace of residual shadow in the sky was frozen, like a brand from the picture to Chu Mu's vision, and like a heavy hammer, it hit Chu Mu's heart.

Chu Mu's expression was gloomy, and he looked a little ugly.

Jinghua Zhenren said cautiously: "True teachings?"

Chu Mu took a deep breath and suppressed his depression. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Did Daoist Fellow Jingyu ever talk about this silk-pulling Gu or related news when he was alive?"

"No."

Jinghua Zhenren shook his head and said with a tone of certainty: "This opportunity is originally a personal secret of Brother Jingyu. Moreover, in recent years, the clan has been restructured into a business, and there are many trivial matters. Several brothers in the clan are also running around and rarely get together..."

Seeing Chu Mu's gloomy expression, Jinghua Zhenren said cautiously: "There are also many secret teachings of Gu Dao in our clan's Sutra Pavilion that are not passed on to others. After I return to the clan, I will check it in detail. If there is any relevant news..."
