Mentioning the "Shenguang Jingqi Sword" of Tianjian Sect, Chu Qiguang instantly realized the many classics he had seen on Chaoyao Mountain.
In particular, there is a classic book "The Assassins of the Chu Dynasty", which records several major assassinations in detail, and the shadow of Tianjian Sect vaguely emerges behind them.
Various generals, ministers, eunuchs, maids and even concubines and princes all turned into assassins to assassinate the emperor.
By the end of the Chu Dynasty, Emperor Chu had been assassinated more than fifty times, and every time, there were still people who could get close to him.
According to the "Biography of Assassins of the Chu Dynasty", every assassin turned his essence into sword energy and assassinated the emperor with a three-foot sword energy.
Chu Qiguang originally didn't quite understand how the Tianjian Sect's "Shenguang Jingqi Sword" accomplished these assassinations.
But now that he has seen the situation in the Changsheng Palace with his own eyes and listened to Qiao Zhi's explanation, he finally understood.
The "Shenguang Jingqi Sword" should be able to give ordinary people the power to enter the Taoist realm and transform ordinary people into assassins.
Moreover, Chu Qiguang recalled his observations today and guessed that this transformation would be difficult to detect.
Even ordinary people who transform into assassins may not know the changes in themselves before taking action.
'The Tianjian Sect has set up an ambush in the Changsheng Palace and plans to assassinate Emperor Yong'an?'
Seeing Chu Qiguang deep in thought, Qiao Zhi asked in his mind: 'Why did you suddenly ask about this?'
Chu Qiguang expressed the doubts in his heart, and finally asked in his heart: 'Will Tianjian Sect assassinate Emperor Yong'an?'
Since arriving in the capital, Qiao Zhi has been completely dormant.
He doesn't speak a word at all on weekdays, and all his conversations with Chu Qiguang are carried out in his heart.
After all, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital, so you still have to be careful.
At this moment, Qiao Zhi heard that there was a maid in the palace, and the eunuch was actually possessed of Taoist power. His eyes widened and his tail waggled violently.
He murmured in his mind: 'Coming now?'
'Or is it always so early?'
'So it was hidden so deeply?'
Qiao Zhi sorted it out in his mind and said slowly: 'The immortals of Tianjian Sect need to be assassinated in order to improve their cultivation.'
'And the highest achievement in assassination is naturally to assassinate the emperor.'
'But not just any emperor will do.'
'The Tianjian Sect emphasizes that one person, one sword, can change the general trend of the world. They have their own rituals for selecting assassination targets.'
Here’s an ad, I’m currently using the Zhuishu app, which caches books for reading and reads aloud offline!
'They basically only assassinate the targets selected by the ritual.'
'It is said that as far as I know, the last assassination target of this generation of Tianjian Sect's sect leader is Emperor Yong'an.'
After hearing this, Chu Qiguang became more and more aware that the Tianjian Sect's assassination method was indeed unpredictable.
Once targeted by the other party, anyone around him may become an assassin and begin to gain the power to become an assassin.
He suddenly thought that the reason why Emperor Yong'an had not left the Changsheng Palace for 16 years, besides focusing on cultivation... was it also because of the relationship with the Tianjian Sect?
After knowing the arrangement of Tianjian Sect, Chu Qiguang suddenly had countless thoughts in his mind, all thinking about how to take advantage of this.
Chu Qiguang asked in his mind: 'Then when did they plan to assassinate? When did they launch the assassination in history? What was the final result of the assassination?'
"Of course the assassination failed." Qiao Zhi's cat tail gradually drooped at this moment, and his mood seemed to have returned to calm: "After all, as long as the city's protective formation is still running in the capital, it is impossible for anyone to kill Yong'an."
'
Qiao Zhi said with great certainty: 'Not even the Tianjian Sect can do it.'
'As for the time of the assassination... it should be five or six years later.'
Chu Qiguang suddenly looked at the cat with suspicion and said in his heart: 'Didn't you say before that you were not familiar with Tianjian Sect?'
'How come you can tell so much when I ask you today?'
Qiao Zhi smiled awkwardly and tucked his tail under his body unconsciously: "I only know so much, so I'm not too familiar with it."
…
Shenjing City.
A huge underground space somewhere.
The densely packed long swords formed a strange altar.
Blood slowly left along the spine of the sword, forming large and small pools of blood on the ground.
A slender figure sat at the top of the altar.
The slender legs swayed gently on the edge of the altar.
"Chu... Qi... Guang..."
A soft murmur came from the mouth of the owner of the leg.
The girl next to her asked curiously: "What's wrong, Miss?"
The woman sitting on the altar chuckled, and laughed as if she found it very interesting: "The new martial arts god Chu Qiguang from Lingzhou met Yong'an today."
"This guy is quite interesting."
The maid on the side knew that her young lady had always had a higher level of regard than her own. If she could make an interesting comment about someone, it must be really interesting.
The woman continued: "He was in the Changsheng Palace today, and he seemed to pay special attention to the eunuchs and maids with sword skills."
"Ah?!" The maid was shocked when she heard this: "Did he discover the sword species?!"
The woman laughed loudly: "So I said it's very interesting. Even Yong'an and Huang Daoxu (the leader of the Tianshi Sect) can't identify the type of sword in our sect."
"If he can really do this, then this person may have the talent to understand the "Shenguang Jingqi Sword"."
“However, based on current performance alone, we cannot be certain of this.”
"We have to find an opportunity to test this person."
The maid asked curiously: "What if he can really identify the type of sword?"
The woman lay on the altar and said casually: "Of course I will find a way to tie him up to the mountain and make him my disciple."
The maid frowned and said, "But this person is already a Taoist Martial God. It is impossible for him to practice another Taoist method, right?"
The woman closed her eyes, but a cruel smile appeared on her face: "What's so good about practicing martial arts?"
"At that time, of course, his martial arts will be abolished and he will be allowed to practice Taoism."
…
The next day, Chu Qiguang, who received the emperor's permission, went to Tianyi Pavilion early in the morning.
This huge library belonging to the Han royal family is located on the south side of the palace.
You need to enter from the side door of the palace first, then go around seven or eight times under the guidance of the eunuch, and pass through many palace gardens to reach it.
Similar to the Big Library, Tianyi Pavilion is also a fully enclosed stone building.
The door was made of some unknown metal and was slowly opened with the push of more than a dozen guards.
A stream of cold air rushed out from it, sending goosebumps all over the eunuchs and guards.
What surprised Chu Qiguang even more was that the closer he got to Tianyi Pavilion, the more he felt that the energy and blood in his body began to calm down.
Even the Ring of Foolishness on his chest became a little stagnant, as if it was being held down by someone's hand.
'The formation of Tianyi Pavilion has the power to suppress martial arts, Taoism and even magic.'
'Then if you read here, the chance of becoming obsessed will be much lower than in other places, right?'
Although he was suppressed, after Chu Qiguang stepped into Tianyi Pavilion, he could still feel the subtle heat and desire coming from the Ring of Foolishness.
This royal library contains much of the knowledge that the Circle of Fools craves.
