Chapter 999: Capture without any effort
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good. Xuan Xiang was blocked at a dead end, so naturally he did not intend to hide it.
Xuanci raised his eyebrows and was about to rebuke angrily when Xuanbei interrupted: "Junior Brother Xuanxiang, you are usually the most pious among our brothers, but now forty years have passed, and you haven't done it yet. Let it go, why did it happen now?”
Speaking of this, Xuan Xiang's expression dropped:
"Since senior brother has asked, junior brother will naturally not hide it."
He said:
"I fled here when I was young. Fortunately, my master took me in. But at that time, I recognized that the host brother was the person who destroyed my hometown. I wanted to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones!"
Sighing softly: "But Master saw the anger in my heart and asked me for the reason. I told him everything. Master advised me to retaliate, and told me that my senior brother who was in charge also met the same end. I initially I was extremely angry, but with Master's guidance, I gradually let go of my hatred. I plan to take this secret into the coffin and fight with my senior brother again when I go to the underworld."
Then Xuan Xiang smiled bitterly: "But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't let me see Jingkong."
Sure enough, headroom was the reason.
"No one in my family of six is spared. Why can he enjoy the happiness of family even though he has done all the evil things?"
The hatred that had been put down was gradually lifted up because of this.
"I wrote a letter to express my resentment. Of course, the host brother cannot forget things that I can't forget. I didn't expect that he actually committed suicide. I know that the host brother wanted to use his own death to repay my resentment, but it can't be done!"
"So you killed Junior Brother Xuannan?"
Xuannan glared angrily:
"Junior Brother Xuanku takes care of you the most, and you actually do it!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Xuanku does take care of me, but these small favors are nothing compared to the sworn hatred!"
Xuan Xiang's face was ferocious, he no longer had the kind eyes and eyebrows of the past, and the resentment in his heart was very deep.
"Junior Brother Xuanxiang."
Xuanbei clasped his hands together and said:
"Have you ever thought about what you would do next even if you were asked to kill Jingkong?"
Xuan Xiangxiang was stunned when the stop button was suddenly pressed. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
The host who massacred his hometown back then is dead, and his half-brother Xuannan is also dead, leaving only the empty space that he knows nothing about.
Even if you kill him, what happens next?
Xuan Xiang seemed to have lost all hope and was at a loss for a moment.
"Junior brother, you are possessed by a demon, why don't you think about that Zhang Han."
Xuan Bei saw Xuan's intention to send Zhang Han away and stay by himself, so he had no intention of leaving alive.
Of course, he would definitely resist before he died, not to protect himself, but to vent his resentment.
Xuanbei saw this and came out to persuade him.
"Is that person a fellow countryman of yours?"
"I don't know either."
Xuan Xiang closed his eyes:
"It was so chaotic back then. I don't know if any of my fellow villagers escaped."
"You must be unable to let go of your obsession when you teach Zhang Hanlai martial arts."
"Nonsense, I taught him martial arts, just to let him avenge the tragic death of his fellow villagers one day, I..."
"You can take revenge on you alone, why bother adding more complications?"
The sun and moon are in the morning, and the stars and stars are arranged. Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.
This is a paragraph from the Thousand-Character Prose, which is where Zhang Hanlai’s name comes from. There is no deep meaning, just because when Xuan Xiang met Zhang Han, the boy didn't even know what his name was, so he named him casually.
Since then, Xuan Xiang has been secretly teaching him martial arts, talking about revenge, but in fact, he couldn't let it go.
Just like Xuan Bei said, if you want revenge, Xuan Xiang himself is enough.
Xuan Xiang sighed:
"Now that things have happened, I have nothing to say."
After saying that, he raised his arms and surrendered.

The morning light arrives as always, and with the ringing of the big bell of Jingci Temple, a new day begins.
The monks who had just woken up early in the morning immediately heard that the murderer of Master Xuannan had been caught. This was originally something to be happy about. But when they also heard that the murderer was Xuanxiang, many were confused on the spot.
Some people couldn't believe it, some wanted to go to Master Xuanci to discuss it, and some people leaned against the wall and sighed secretly.
Logically speaking, killing someone must be dealt with according to law.
However, there is a very flexible bottom line in this matter.
After all, the princess is here, and the government has to ask for her opinion no matter what.
The princess's opinion is that this is a matter for Jingci Temple and you should just leave it alone.
Then the policeman and the county magistrate became very knowledgeable.
Xuan wanted to kill someone intentionally, but there was a reason for the incident, so he is now imprisoned in the cave where he presided over the retreat. He will never be able to get out in this life, which is equivalent to a life sentence.
The result of this kind of treatment is good for everyone. After all, the unclear grudges should be cut off at this moment.
After getting the news, Zhang Hanlai should come to visit, but what happens in the end is none of Yang Yiyi's business.
Li Chengqi only saw the news when he went online in the morning. After all, when he went to arrest people yesterday, there were not only a bunch of imperial guards, but also three monks with superb martial arts squatting. No matter how much he thought, there would be no mistake. Li Chengqi didn't do anything yesterday. Stay up late and pay attention.
It can be seen that Jingci Temple wanted to minimize the impact of the whole incident. He only said that the murderer was Xuan Xiang and did not reveal any other details.
As for Jingkong and the others, they didn't even know what was going on. For this half-grown boy, it was okay not to know these things.
Jingci Temple immediately began to study the matter of the new host. Since Princess Mingzhu had to jump out and said that I would be a witness, and the monks of Jingci Temple could not refute the face of the princess, the new host of the voting ceremony was really the princess. Take the lead.
One can imagine how chaotic the scene was.
Having said that, although this princess looks unattractive, she is very shrewd. When Xuan Ku died before, others thought it was because of the motive of choosing the host. They suspected Xuan Ci, Xuan Bei and Xuan Ku, and only the princess I feel that other monks of the Xuan generation are even more suspicious.
Her vision is actually broader than that of Li Chengqi. It may be that the overt and secret struggles in the palace have made Princess Mingzhu develop this thinking mode. She is not limited to the clues in front of her, or it may be her innate intuition.
But no matter what it is, this princess is not as stupid as she seems to know how to play.
——Although she is indeed a headache to play.
Due to the interference of Princess Mingzhu, the newly hosted election ceremony was thrown into a panic. One moment she said that the table was not good-looking, and the next moment she said that it would be better to change the signatures used for counting votes to bamboo slips, but the Ouchi guards could be replaced. It was quite a struggle with the monks from Jingci Temple.
But I am the princess, so you have to bear the trouble.
Look, what does cruelty and inhumanity mean...
Although the process was a bit speechless, the result was truly fair and just. With the county governor there to supervise the counting of votes, the final result was even more convincing.
In the end, according to the results of the votes, Xuanci received the most votes and took over the position of host. Xuanbei then succeeded Xuanci and was responsible for the external affairs of Jingci Temple.
Yang Yiyi also handed the letter from Tianjue Palace to Xuanci after the ceremony. Now all that is left is to finish the blessing ceremony and go to Lingyun Temple as the next stop.
