Chapter 29 Two hundred years ago, Hengxia Zhenren
The old man's attitude was obviously not as casual as before.
He actually wiped his dirty face and said seriously: "To talk about this Xianxia Sect, we have to start with the Hengxia Zhenren who suddenly appeared in the world two hundred years ago..."
"Boy, do you want to escape from prison?!"
"I think you don't want to live anymore. Do you know where this is?!"
At this time, a group of jailers rushed over again and interrupted the old man's words.
"Noisy!"
Cui Heng frowned slightly, raised his hand and waved the dozen or so jailers to break through the wall and fly out on the spot.
At the same time, he sent out a weak magic power from a distance, which directly shook the dungeon passage and collapsed it.
The roads were blocked, so naturally no one would come to disturb them.
Such a big noise woke up the death row prisoners around.
They looked at the dungeon passage that was collapsed by the shock, and then looked at Cui Heng. They were all stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.
What a joke!
How did a strong man of this level get caught?
"Oh my God!"
The old man screamed in fear. He shrank back, looked at Cui Heng in disbelief, and trembled, "Master?! No, a master can't collapse a passage made of bluestone from four or five feet away. This is a great master!"
"Go on." Cui Heng still looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The old man nodded quickly, his attitude becoming very respectful. "Two hundred years ago, not long after the founding of the Jin Dynasty..."
After the old man's narration, Cui Heng had a general understanding of the Xianxia Sect.
About two hundred years ago, not long after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the turmoil in the world had just settled down. It was a time when martial arts heroes emerged and new sects emerged one after another.
Not counting those top sects that had been passed down for thousands of years, there were more than 17,000 sects in the martial arts world at that time, distributed in various states, counties and prefectures in the Jin Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were only 13 states and 241 counties in the country, which were divided into 2,969 counties.
Even if you average it out, there were more than 70 sects in a county, and five or six sects in a county.
These sects fought each other, competing for strength and territory, and the degree of chaos can be imagined.
The court stood aside and watched, and the big sects and big families took care of themselves, and had no intention of intervening. This made countless people miserable, and then more gangs and sects were constantly born.
Until a person appeared out of nowhere.
Her real name was unknown, she only called herself Hengxia, a girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a very beautiful appearance, but a terrifyingly high strength.
When Hengxia first appeared in the world, she showed extremely strong strength. In just one month, she wiped out 139 sects in Hedong County with just one person and one sword.
Since then, she has become famous all over the world.
From then on, Hengxia began to truly walk the rivers and lakes. Anyone who did evil would have no chance of escaping if she met him. Anyone who was oppressed for no reason would at least get help if they met her.
Acting like this would inevitably provoke important people.
About three years after her debut, she personally killed a dandy boy who robbed a woman, but she didn't expect that the man was the son of the head of the Cangxuan Sect.
The Cangxuan Sect has been passed down for thousands of years and is famous for its gun, knife and palm techniques. The founder of the sect is said to be a god on earth. It has a long history and profound foundation and has survived six dynasties.
The murder of the son of the head immediately aroused the anger of the Cangxuan Sect. Many disciples went out of the mountains to hunt down Hengxia, but without exception, they were all killed by her sword.
In the end, even the master-level elders were no match for her.
After being hunted for three months, Hengxia climbed up Cangcheng Mountain alone, and with one sword, she completely destroyed the entire Cangxuan Sect!
Even Jianghu Jueding, who had been living in seclusion in Cangxuan Sect for many years and had long since forgotten about worldly affairs, could not escape a single move under Hengxia's sword.
It is said that Hengxia's sword is like a rosy glow, with rainbows flying all over the sky, which is beautiful, but there is nowhere to hide. It does not seem like a sword technique that can exist in the world.
Since then, Cangxuan Sect was ordered to disband on the spot, and Hengxia took advantage of the situation to establish a sect on Cangcheng Mountain.
It is called "Xianxia Sect".
Because she likes to wear Taoist robes, has an air of immortality and an extraordinary temperament, the world respects her as Hengxia Zhenren.
Under the reputation of Hengxia Zhenren, Xianxia Sect quickly grew stronger and constantly sent disciples to suppress those small sects that often caused unrest and brought peace to the world.
In just a few decades, Xianxia Sect became the most powerful sect in the world.
Even those top sects that have been passed down for thousands of years can only be ranked below Xianxia Sect.
There are even rumors that Hengxia Zhenren's martial arts have reached the realm of earthly immortals, unfathomable and invincible.
There are even people in many places who spontaneously built temples for Hengxia Zhenren and worshipped her as a god.
Such power and fame can be said to be the pinnacle.
There has never been such a person in thousands of years!
But a hundred years ago, Xianxia Sect suddenly announced that it would close its doors for unknown reasons. Only occasionally would a few disciples go down the mountain, but they would keep a low profile, never make a fuss, and return to the mountain quickly. There was
no news about Master Hengxia either.
"Has Master Hengxia never shown up since Xianxia Sect closed its doors a hundred years ago?" Cui Heng frowned slightly. He could now almost confirm that the so-called Master Hengxia should be Jiang Qiqi, who had accomplished martial arts.
Whether it was the characteristics of martial arts or the style of doing things, they all matched.
"I haven't heard of it." The old man shook his head and said, "It's rumored that Master Hengxia seemed to have disappeared out of thin air a hundred years ago and has never shown up again. Some people also say that Master Hengxia has passed away."
Passed away?
Cui Heng shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice, "Are there any rumors about the reason why Xianxia Sect closed its doors?"
When he created Xianxia Sword Technique, he incorporated many ideas of cultivating immortals. The longevity function is definitely not bad. Even if one only cultivates to the level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, one can live for more than two hundred years.
A mere one hundred years is not enough to make one die.
"There are many rumors about this." The old man thought for a while and said, "Some say that it is because Zhenren Hengxia passed away, and the Xianxia Sect was worried about being besieged by various major sects and families.
"It is also said that the Jin Dynasty court did not allow such a powerful sect to exist, so it united the top sects and big families to force the Xianxia Sect to close the mountain. Others say that the Xianxia Sect wanted to pursue the way to ascend to heaven, so it closed the mountain to practice immortality.
"In short, there are many different opinions, and there is no accurate statement."
"You said before that you have a secret book in your hand that was stolen from the Xianxia Sect fifty years ago?" Cui Heng asked again.
"This... I just made it up." The old man didn't dare to lie at this time, and hurriedly explained, "After the Xianxia Sect closed its doors, some disciples would occasionally go down the mountain, but they would soon return.
"Before returning to the mountain, some disciples would compile their own sword skills into secret manuals and leave them at the foot of the mountain. The secret manual I got is one of those, and it can be cultivated to the innate realm.
"My master and fellow disciples killed my parents in order to steal my secret manual. After I became proficient in martial arts, I directly wiped out his entire family!"
At the end, the old man's face was full of murderous intent.
However, he soon noticed how powerful the person sitting in front of him was, and hurriedly restrained his emotions, lowered his head and chuckled twice.
"You can't even sell a secret manual like this in prison?" Cui Heng chuckled.
"I just wanted to play a joke on you, how could I really teach you..." The old man quickly shut up and explained, "Well, I, I, I didn't want to play a joke on you!"
"It doesn't matter." Cui Heng smiled and stood up, "If it weren't for your jokes, I wouldn't have noticed the Xianxia Sect... Hmm? There are guests coming."
"What a fool you are, you dare to destroy the dungeon!"
At this time, a cold voice came from the depths of the death cell, and it was the young monk who disguised himself as a yamen runner and came in from another entrance deep in the death cell.
He came here quickly, and he ignored the collapsed passage directly, staring at Cui Heng with a gloomy look: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
