Chapter Seventy-One: The Imperial Daughter

Since Ji Shuye admitted that he was also connected with the Maiden Sect, he no longer hesitated and told everything he knew: "The relationship between the twenty-two sects of good and evil can be described as complicated, take the Taiping Sect as an example, it not only belongs to the Taiping Dao with the Qingwei Sect, but also shares the Dao system of the Yin and Yang family with the Yin and Yang Sect, and also shares the Mo family Dao system with the Replenishing Heaven Sect. The Xuannu Sect seems to be opposed to each other, but in fact they are in the same vein, but the two sides are like yin and yang, each upholding different ideas, and each going to the opposite extreme, so there is the Xuannu Sect that guards herself like jade and is not close to the male color and the Xuannu Sect that picks yang to supplement yin and controls men. ”

Li Xuandu asked: "As far as I know, the Xuannu Sect's external statement is: According to legend, a thousand years ago, a princess of the dead country cultivated and enlightened in the Jade Girl Mountain, with an unknown surname, and was called the imperial daughter. The emperor's daughter finally ascended to the Tao and was revered as a Xuannu. Xuannu left a special three-yin scripture for women to cultivate, Xuannu's personal maid got this recipe, in the Jade Girl Peak Qing cultivation for a hundred years and attained longevity, then on the Jade Girl Peak founded the Xuannu Sect lineage, respect Xuannu as the founding patriarch, himself as the sect master. Could it be that the patriarch of the Lady Sect is also a Xuannu?"

Ji Shuye didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Are the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal and Mr. Qingping the same person?"

Li Xuandu was stunned, and vaguely understood the meaning of Ji Shuye's words, and replied: "Naturally, it is the same person, all of them are me, one is me in the past, and the other is me now." ”

Ji Shuye nodded and said: "Although they are the same person, the actions of the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal and Mr. Qingping are very different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are judged by the two." The emperor and the Xuannu can also be described in this way, because the princess is not like the prince, and the name and surname are not recorded in the history books, so I use 'she' to call the two patriarchs, she cultivated in the Jade Girl Mountain during this time, I called it the Xuannu, and she was called the Emperor Daughter during the period before she went to the Jade Girl Mountain. The emperor and the Xuannu, just like the Zifu Sword Immortal and Mr. Qingping, are two completely different people. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What kind of person is the emperor?"

Ji Shuye said: "The emperor is the youngest daughter of the emperor and the empress, the half-sister of the crown prince, since she was a child, she was favored by her parents and brothers, and she was in power, when one of her maids was insulted by her cousin, she asked her mother to exile the cousin, and personally shot him on the way to exile. Later, when the court changed dramatically, and several of her brothers competed for the throne, she supported one of them to ascend to the throne, and thus held great power. In this process, the emperor's daughter married twice, and when she married for the first time, she kept to herself and taught her husband and children. It's a pity that her husband died unjustly in prison because he was involved in a major rebellion case. After she married for the second time, her heart changed greatly, and she began to raise male favorites on a large scale, and many important ministers in the court were ministers under her skirt, and used this to consolidate her power. ”

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the emperor began to participate in the court politics, which all kinds of treacherous things, not to go into detail, the emperor experienced many opponents, including her other brothers and sisters, her sister-in-law queen, also her niece princess, and even her lover and rival, but these people were defeated in the hands of the emperor. After so many temple battles, the power of the emperor finally reached its peak, and the sons were crowned kings, and they were only one step away from the empress. However, the emperor was defeated in the end, losing to her nephew, and the two fought a big battle in Xijing

, Killed in the dark, the emperor was defeated, and had to fake her death to get out, so she came to the Jade Girl Mountain to cultivate, and there was a later Xuannu. ”

"The predecessor of the Lady Sect was a secret organization established when the emperor was in power, and was responsible for winning over loyal ministers in the court and spying on intelligence. The founder of the Maiden Sect was also a maid of the emperor's maid. After the emperor lost power, this secret organization broke away from the control of the emperor and escaped into the rivers and lakes, and merged with the branches of the double cultivation room in the Daomen in the rivers and lakes, and gradually developed into today's Lady Sect. ”

"If you don't pick it up, you can't put it down. If you have not experienced great wealth and wealth, you will not be able to see through wealth and fame. After the emperor experienced ups and downs and became a Xuannu, another of her maids inherited her mantle and established the Xuannu Sect, which merged with other branches of Taoism and became the Xuannu Six Classics on the basis of the Xuannu Three Classics, and gradually developed into today's Xuannu Sect. ”

Li Xuandu listened carefully and said, "Such a secret, I'm afraid that Yu Qingning and the palace officials may not be able to know everything, how did Senior Brother Yuanzhen know?"

Ji Shuye had long expected Li Xuan to ask such a question, and said, "Naturally, someone told me. These two girls may not be unaware of these secrets, but they will not tell others at will. ”

Li Xuandu glanced at Ji Shuye deeply, "It seems that Senior Brother Yuanzhen has a deeper connection with the Maiden Sect than I thought. ”

Ji Shuye sighed, "After falling into it, if you can't extricate yourself, then you will only fall deeper and deeper." ”

Li Xuandu said: "There is no quagmire that cannot be pulled out, the key is determination." ”

"Of course, Zifu is qualified to say such things. Uncle Ji smiled bitterly, "I admire Zifu, I lost my position and fell into the realm, left the division, and after several ups and downs, I can still achieve a career, it can be seen that Zifu is strong-minded and capable, and people like Zifu will not fall into the quagmire at all." But I can't compare with the Purple Mansion. ”

Li Xuandu was noncommittal about this compliment, and said: "I can't see that." ”

Uncle Ji didn't dwell on this topic at night, and then said: "This is the case with the establishment of the Lady Sect, so it is not surprising that the Lady Sect will be able to do anything in the next many years. Today's Maiden Sect has six concubines and twelve female officials under the sect master, namely: Feng Cheng Ji, Shaking Moon Ji, Qinghui Ji, Fan Yao Ji, Guang Miao Ji, Xuan Sheng Ji, among them, Guang Miao Ji and Xuan Sheng Ji are the leaders, and Xuan Sheng Ji is the next sect master. Presumably, the Purple Mansion has already seen these six people one after another, but has the Purple Mansion seen the twelve female officials?"

Li Xuandu was stunned, and when he thought about it carefully, he had dealt with the six concubines, including Guang Miaoji, to some extent, even Mrs. Leng had seen it, and he had really never seen the so-called twelve female officials, he originally thought that the twelve female officials were just some small roles, but at this time, when he heard Ji Shuye mention it, it seemed that there was something else hidden.

Ji Shuye said: "If you talk about realm cultivation, these twelve female officials together are not the opponent of Zifu alone, but you and I both know that there has never been anything in this world that is nothing but a sword matter, and there will always be times when force cannot be taken into account, and the power that these twelve female officials can exert is only afraid that Zifu will find it tricky." ”

Li Xuandu's face was a little solemn, and he asked, "What kind of magical powers do these twelve female officials have?"

"If you don't have supernatural powers, you're just an ordinary disciple of the Maiden Sect. Ji Shuye shook his head and said, "However, these twelve female officials have been carefully selected and cultivated by the Lady Sect since they were young, not only are they outstanding in appearance, but they are also the best at figuring out men's minds and serving men. ”

Li Xuandu was puzzled: "The daughter of a big family, even if she is from a side branch, it is difficult to be dropped, right?"

Ji Shuye replied: "It all depends on the means, for example, some girls are born weak and sick, at this time, a nun and Taoist aunt from Youfang came to visit, saying that she would take her to become a monk and practice, and after how old she would return home, she could get rid of the root of the disease. Among them, there is an article to be done. ”

Li Xuandu immediately understood. There are indeed a lot of such things, if those nuns and Taoist aunts who come to the door are people from the Lady Sect, when those women return home, aren't they disciples of the Lady Sect.

Ji Shuye said again: "The Lady Sect is passed down from generation to generation, and she is the best at playing idle chess and burning cold stoves, and some disciples of the Lady Sect may not be enabled by the Lady Sect for the rest of their lives after marrying into a certain big family, in the eyes of outsiders, this woman is an ordinary woman." But her roots are still in the Lady Sect, and her daughters and maids can easily become members of the Lady Sect. This will lead to a situation, the Nu Sect has spent several generations cultivating a family, from grandmother to mother to daughter, all of them are from the Nu Sect, if you go to check, you will definitely not find anything, and the daughter of this family will marry into someone else's family, which is extremely difficult to guard against. Coupled with the other operations of the Lady Sect, these women are like spiders forming a web under the sky, who is not in their web?"

Li Xuandu said thoughtfully: "But this also has shortcomings, others don't know the identities of these disciples of the Maiden Sect scattered all over the world, but the Maiden Sect must know, as long as you break through the center of the Maiden Sect and get the relevant list, you can catch it all." ”

Ji Shuye nodded and said: "So I have to mention the second system of the Lady Sect, that is, the guest system, which can also be understood as a means of recruiting sons-in-law. The women of secular families know that the life of orphans and widows is not easy, and they need to find a man to rely on. Of course, the Lady Sect also knows that this is somewhat similar to the righteous son and son-in-law of the Li family in the East China Sea. The former Ning Yi, and even the earth master, can be regarded as the great guest of the Maiden Sect, they provide shelter to the Mainu Sect and coexist with each other. Of course, the earth master can't be regarded as an ordinary guest, just like the Li family's righteous son-in-law, the Great Sword Immortal Li Daoxu, who became the head of the Li family, and the earth master is also anti-guest, from the guest of the Maiden Sect to the master of the Maiden Sect. ”

Li Xuandu said: "To correct one point, the Li family in the East China Sea has never been anti-guest-oriented, and the Li family has always believed that it is better to pin the future of the family on the son who cannot be chosen, and it is better to put it on the son and son-in-law who can be chosen, so whether it is a son, daughter, son-in-law, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law, you can become the head of the family." Today's Li family is like a sect dressed in a family coat, and there is no so-called orthodoxy of blood, only the surname has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Uncle Ji laughed at night, "I forgot, Zifu was also born in the Li family, and it was my class who got the axe." ”
