Finally there is different information!
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back immediately. "Is there any inside story behind this matter?"
Elder Zhao Chang nodded slightly and said in a casual tone, "After the Anti-Japanese War, Tongzhou Society thought it no longer needed to hide and wanted to take advantage of the situation to become the official organization of the second largest region. It established seven major branches in North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, Southwest China, and Northwest China. Unexpectedly, not long after, fierce conflicts broke out within Tongzhou Society. Some people did not want to become puppets of the West, so they withdrew from the organization and set up their own branches in the Northwest. This was not the fundamental reason for the dissolution of Tongzhou."
"The real reason is that the government was driven into a corner. The new government has a strong sense of self-consciousness and is determined not to compromise. In addition, there are fierce conflicts within the Tongzhou Association, and members continue to leave the organization. Therefore, the Tongzhou Association hastily disbanded before it has time to establish an official organization in the second district."
Although Mr. Zhao Chang laid a lot of groundwork and did not get to the point for a long time, Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Chenghuang still listened with great interest.
"The internal strife of the North China branch occurred in this context, but it was not an internal strife but a massacre." Elder Zhao Chang finally lifted up the red veil and was about to get to the point.
Butcher? Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Chenghuang looked at each other, and the former asked: "Who started the massacre?
Zhao Chang shook his head: "I only know that before the Tongzhou Society was disbanded, the top leaders of the Huaxi North and South branches suddenly called all members to discuss matters. The result of that meeting was that everyone died."
Zhang Yuanqing frowned as he heard this: "If it was an internal conflict, there would always be a winner on a battlefield with a large number of people. It is unlikely that everyone would die together. If it was a massacre, it does make sense.%
"The meeting was held by the North China branch on its own. The only possibility is the Tongzhouhui headquarters. But why did they massacre the members of the North China branch? How did you know about this, Mr. Zhao Chang? Even Gang Leader Jiang doesn't know the details."
"Because there was a survivor in the original North China branch. When he was convening members to discuss matters, he encountered an accident on the way and was delayed. When he arrived at the meeting place, he saw only a ruin stained with blood and war."
"Not even the bodies of those members were left." Zhao Chang Lao took a sip of tea. "You actually know that survivor, and you've had a lot of dealings with him."
He put down the tea bowl and said before Zhang Yuanqing opened his mouth: "He is the guardian of Shanhe Yongcun and Dark Night Rose."
"The mountain will remain forever?!" This news caught Zhang Yuanqing off guard.
"Mountains and Rivers Forever" is related to the Tongzhou Society, but combined with the intimidation given by Sect Leader Chun last night, it seems to correspond.
Shanhe Yongcun is the great protector of the Dark Night Rose, and is involved in the secret of Tongzhou Hui, so Lingtuo arranged for the head of Chunyang Ming to show up to scare him, because he didn't want him to explore the matter.
While Zhang Yuanqing was daydreaming, Zhao Chenghuang beside him asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, why would Shanhe Yongcun tell you these things? I remember that you two didn't have a good relationship with money."
Elder Zhao Chang said calmly, "I recruited Shanhe Yongcun into the Taiyi Sect. I once saved his life. Besides, we have a very good relationship, but we seldom interact with each other."
How can it be considered a very good relationship if they seldom interact with each other... Zhao Chenghuang didn't dare to talk back and nodded with a grim expression.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his thoughts and looked at Elder Zhao, "What else did Shanhe Yongcun say about the massacre at the North China Branch?"
"Old Zhao Chang shook his head. He was not one of the first batch of people who walked steadily in the spiritual realm. He was a middle-level person at that time. He was just a lucky person who survived the accident."
The issue of the Freedom Covenant only broke out recently, and then involved the Tongzhou Society. Before that, even the first group of spiritual realm travelers like Zhao Changlao did not know much about the Freedom Covenant.
Of course, I will not dig into the details of the mountains, rivers and water. It is too late to investigate the behavior now.
But if Shanhe Yongcun knew nothing, then why would Lingtuo arrange for Master Chunyang to scare me? This doesn’t make sense... Zhang Yuanqing frowned.
Even if Shanhe Yongcun knew something, he had already betrayed Taiyi Sect and became a high-ranking member of Dark Night Rose. Even with Taiyin's protection, he couldn't be found, let alone arrested. In this case, what was the point of Master Chunyang scaring him last night?
Unless... the problem is not with Shanhe Yongcun, Elder Zhao instinctively has other secrets, and this secret is what Lingtuo doesn't want me to know, or in other words, doesn't want to be made public...
What secrets could Master Zhao Chang have? Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he looked at the old and serious man and said, "Let's not talk about the eternal existence of mountains and rivers for now. Master Zhao Chang, you seemed very surprised when we mentioned the same boat. What do you think is the purpose of my trip?"
After a pause, he got straight to the point, "What's in the basement?"
Zhao Chenghuang's entry into the basement backfired, but it was also a blessing in disguise.
Elder Zhao Chang must have thought that he was the one who instigated Zhao Chenghuang to sneak into the basement to explore, and the purpose of this trip was also in the basement, so when he mentioned that Tongzhouhui had no interest in the basement, Elder Zhao was surprised and stunned.
After asking this question, Zhang Yuanqing was already prepared for Zhao Chang to get angry.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao Chang calmly sipped his tea and said indifferently: "You want to know what's in the basement?"
"How can I know?" Zhang Yuanqing asked back.
Zhao Chang drank his tea in silence. When the teacup was empty, he seemed to have figured something out and said in a deep voice, "I didn't mean to let the City God get close to the basement because I didn't want my descendants to be affected by this karma. If you want to get to the bottom of this, then follow me."
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Chenghuang stood up at the same time. The latter was forced back by Zhao Changlao's look. Changlao, who was sitting upright on the wooden bench, disappeared like a star.
Zhang Yuanqing also used the Star Escape Technique and followed Elder Zhao's breath to the underground.
He appeared in an old, dark corridor with four walls poured with cement. The cement was cracked and weathered, revealing dense roots.
Zhao Chang Lao stood in front of a rotten wooden door and looked back and said, "Come in."
With a teeth-grinding sound, he pushed open the wooden door and entered the basement.
Zhang Yuanqing lost the aura of Zhao Changlao, who seemed to have entered
