I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 127 Offensive and Defensive Alliance
After Guo Jing thanked Zhao Zhijing for teaching Yang Guo, he asked about the situation on Jade Maiden Peak.

When it comes to reputation in the martial arts world, Guo Jing is naturally much more famous than Zhao Zhijing, but Guo Jing is a humble person and Zhao Zhijing is also easy-going in his words, so the two of them get along quite well.

After a cup of tea, Huang Rong remembered the news from the Beggars' Sect, saying that after a Beggars' Sect disciple mysteriously disappeared in Huayin County at the foot of Mount Hua, someone had conducted an investigation.

The expert in charge of surveillance of the Beggar Gang was soon discovered, but the man did not seem to have any hostility and left as well, heading towards Mount Hua.

Furthermore, Lu Youjiao also said that Gongping Sect was most likely the culprit behind the zombies. Last year, many Quanzhen Sect disciples near Xianyang also died at the hands of Gongping Sect. Huang Rong thought that since she was here, she might as well ask a few questions.

"Guo'er, your uncle Guo and I have something to tell your master. The scenery of Huashan is magnificent and steep. You can take Fu'er and the others to have a look around."

Guo Fu had long found the adults talking boring. Just now when they entered the mountain gate, her mother said that Yang Guo's martial arts had improved rapidly, so she wanted to find Yang Guo to ask about it.

At this time, seeing his mother speak, it was exactly what he wanted. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, this platform is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and it is surrounded by mist. I wonder if there are immortals living there?"

"Brother Yang is just here to take us to have a look."

Yang Guo looked at his master and saw that his master nodded slightly. He then bowed to Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, and walked out with Guo Fu and the other two.

After the children left, Huang Rong asked, "Master Zhao, there is something I would like to ask you in person. It is very relevant to the Beggars' Sect. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."

"I dare not. Boss Huang, please feel free to speak."

"My gang's elder Lu Youjiao came to Huashan to visit the Taoist priest a few months ago and told him about the disappearance of my Beggars' Sect disciples in Huayin and the Fairness Cult. I wonder what the Taoist priest thinks of this?"

Guo Jing has always admired his wife's foresight, and since this was an internal matter of the Beggars' Sect, he just listened quietly and did not interrupt.

Zhao Zhijing heard Huang Rong's question and said without hiding anything, "After hearing Elder Lu's mention, I did go to Huayin County to investigate, but I definitely didn't want to interfere in your gang's affairs."

"My disciples are inexperienced, and the evildoers of the Fairness Sect are always unscrupulous. If they are really planning some conspiracy in the Huashan area, I must take precautions early."

"If I have accidentally offended your gang, please forgive me, Gang Master Huang."

Huang Rong saw that Zhao Zhijing spoke frankly and his actions were reasonable, so she naturally put this little matter aside.

"As for the Fairness Sect, after listening to Elder Lu's explanation of the secrets, I also agree with Gang Leader Huang's plan and speculation."

Through Huang Rong's speculation, Zhao Zhijing has figured out the possibility that the Gongping Sect is the remnant of the Xingxiu Sect that is causing trouble to the world, but this involves hundreds of years of grievances in the martial arts world.

Even if he told them everything, how could Guo Jing and his wife believe in things like the "Sun and Moon Sect" and the "Three Corpses Brain Pill" hundreds of years later?
Out of this concern, Zhao Zhijing planned to talk about situations where facts had already occurred and see how he could explain the matter more reasonably.

"As far as I know, there have been countless ghosts and gods in the world from ancient times to the present, but a walking corpse like this that can cause great suffering to all living beings is something I have never seen before."

"It was not until I heard what Gang Leader Huang said that I finally resolved the doubts in my heart. Compared to the heavenly punishment that destroyed the world, it is more credible that someone wants to control people's hearts with devilish tricks!"

Huang Rong's eyes lit up. After several years of planning and investigation, she and her husband were extremely surprised when they finally figured out the true intentions of the Gongping Cult. They did not expect that Zhao Zhijing would agree with it so much after just hearing a general idea.

Huang Rong didn't have much friendship with Quanzhen Sect. She was very unhappy when the Seven Quanzhen Sect members were instigated to set up the Tiangang Beidou formation to attack her father Huang Yaoshi, and Qiu Chuji insisted on marrying Mu Nianci to Guo Jing. Although times have changed, Quanzhen Sect still left a stubborn and self-willed impression in her mind.

"Master Zhao is absolutely right. If it is really a natural disaster, it would be difficult for us mortals to resist it. But since we have found out that someone is secretly harboring evil intentions, no matter what the considerations are, there is absolutely no way we can just let it go."

Guo Jing listened silently for a while, and finally spoke up: "After many years of war, the people of the world finally had more than ten years of peace and recuperation after the Song and Mongolia joined forces to destroy the Jin Dynasty."

"If someone still wants to stir up trouble, even though my strength alone is not much, I will definitely fight them to the end!"

The three of them talked things out and all of them wanted to eradicate the Fairness Church for the sake of their country and the world.

There is no need to elaborate on Zhao Zhijing's views on the Southern Song Dynasty, but he always wanted to leave a relatively peaceful world for his disciples.

Huang Rong initially thought that it was unnecessary for her husband to make a special trip to Yunu Peak to thank Zhao Zhijing, but now she felt that the trip was worthwhile.

When meeting Yang Guo and other disciples at the foot of the mountain, it can be seen that Zhao Zhijing is good at teaching his disciples; he would rather be self-reliant than exploit the people, which also shows his character and mentality; as for martial arts, he is naturally a first-rate player since he can defeat Li Mochou.

In this case, why did the Quanzhen Sect appoint Li Zhichang, a disciple of Qiu Chuji, as the first disciple? I think there must be a hidden story, but it is not easy to ask directly.

"Since Taoist Priest Zhao also has such a plan, after my wife and I go down the mountain, we will go to Huayin County to inform the local Beggars' Sect disciples so that we can exchange what we have in the future."

Zhao Zhijing bowed and said, "I am honored that you and your wife value me. I will do my best to help you."

Huang Rong continued, "Master, do you know that after the Red Snake Fairy Li Mochou was defeated by you, she disappeared for a while, and when she reappeared, she actually went to make trouble with the Mongols?"

After arriving at the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan, Zhao Zhijing only went down the mountain occasionally. No gangs dared to intervene in the market town at the foot of the mountain, so the information he could get was limited.

"I really don't know. Judging from her past actions, could it be that a master from Mongolia provoked her?"

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "If it was a fight between the martial arts world, it wouldn't be surprising, but Li Mochou took the initiative and killed the powerful figures in Mongolia."

"In addition, after my Beggars' Sect disciples disappeared, news spread that Beggars' Sect disciples sacrificed their lives to kill Mongolian dignitaries, but Elder Lu and I were not aware of this beforehand!"

"This"

Zhao Zhijing pondered for a moment, thinking that this matter was most likely related to the Gongping Sect. Could it be that Li Mochou had been controlled by them using drugs such as the Sanshi Brain Pill?

"Because I am afraid of Li Mochou's Ice Soul Silver Needle, I have read many medical books to find a way to break it."

"Among them, there are records from our ancestors that some strange poisons are prepared with secret methods. The poisoned person will not have an attack immediately, or the poison can invade the human brain and make the person insane, thus achieving the purpose of control."

"The Fairness Sect is the best at using poison. Looking at the abnormal behavior of Li Mochou and the Beggars' Sect disciples, do you think there is any connection between the two?"
