Spring came very early in the thirteenth year of Zhizheng. The first spring rain came soon after the Lantern Festival. In this drizzle, Wudang disciples who were on an expedition to Kunlun Mountain also embarked on their journey.

Song Qingshu will lead the team and lead three generations of disciples to clear the way. Half a month later, Song Yuanqiao and others will arrive with a group of disciples.

I don’t know if Old Song did it intentionally or not, but transferred all the six people from Chunyang Palace, so that there were no strange voices in the team led by Song Qingshu.

Go down to Wudang and take the official road straight to Heluo, then go west and enter Qin through Tongguan. At this time, Tongguan can be said to be heavily guarded. After all, the rebels in the Heluo area have been corrupted. And Song Qingshu and other martial arts sects encircled and suppressed the Demon Cult General Altar.

This aspect also has the tacit approval of Yuan Ting, so as long as the customs clearance documents are submitted, it can be passed smoothly.

We didn't encounter any disturbances along the way, and we soon followed the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions. The scene we saw at this time was "the desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the long river is setting the sun". Although it is magnificent, it is also quite boring. After all, I want to

It is not easy to find a family in the vast desert.

After traveling thousands of miles, it was still rainy when we set out, and by the time we arrived in Kunlun, it was already close to the summer solstice. The daytime temperature in Kunlun Mountain in summer is never too low. The climate here is very cold and the altitude is high. It is really difficult for people who are not martial arts practitioners to adapt.

Kunlun Mountain stretches for more than 2,500 kilometers and is covered with snow all year round. But there is a deep valley among the mountains. The spring water in this valley does not freeze, the trees are evergreen, and it is like spring all year round. It is a wonderful scene.

Although it is a valley, it is located on a plateau, with an altitude of three to four thousand meters.

The blessed land here has been occupied by people hundreds of years ago. The Manichaeans who came from foreign countries believed that the wonders in the snow-capped mountains were caused by the manifestation of the King Ming and the conception of the Holy Fire, so they performed sacrifices here. After a long time,

It developed into the main altar of Mingjiao in China.

There is a peak outside the valley. Its top is also snow-free all year round. It is also occupied by Mingjiao and is named "Moyun Peak Great Bright Summit".

There are also several peaks next to Daguangming Peak, but the conditions are not as good as Moyun Peak. One of them is called Guyun Peak, where the Kunlun Sect is located.

The Kunlun sect is older than Manichaeism by an unknown number of years. However, the sect has always been pure in cultivation and has never thought of occupying mountains and occupying valleys. This valley is also called Kunlun Valley.

However, later on, as Manichaeism became more powerful and the Kunlun Sect became increasingly declining, they had no intention of fighting, so they stayed on the Guyun Peak to practice cultivation miserably.

However, when the sect spread to modern times, the previous leader, Bai Luzi, died in a duel with Yang Xiao, the bright left envoy of the Ming Cult. The Kunlun Sect also forged a great grudge against the Ming Cult.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. As a century-old neighbor of Mingjiao, in this plan to encircle Guangmingding, the Kunlun faction stood up with a clear sense of justice and fully demonstrated the responsibilities that good neighbors in the martial arts should have - serving as the leading party.

In a valley at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, where the altitude is slightly lower and there is water, a small city has been formed. Song Qingshu took dozens of elite disciples to rest in the small city, waiting for the large army to converge.

The inn in the city is now overcrowded. There are bald monks, haired nuns, and sword-wielding Taoists, including both large sects and small gangs. Now when you walk on the street, you can turn around and bump into an acquaintance from the Central Plains martial arts world.

Each of the six sects had their own motives for besieging Guangmingding, and other small gangs and small forces also followed to watch the fun, trying to take advantage of it. After all, the Mingjiao has been dominant in the Western Region for hundreds of years, and its foundation is unimaginably deep.

No martial artist would not be moved by this feast of carving up the world's largest religion.

Since the split and demise of the Quanzhen Sect, the Ming Sect has become the number one sect in the world. Whether in terms of number of people or wealth, it is a behemoth.

The Wudang Sect, as the leader of the martial arts community in the south of the Yangtze River, has only ten thousand disciples both inside and outside. Shaolin has slightly more disciples in the secular world, and the total number of disciples is less than thirty thousand. The Ming Sect has hundreds of thousands of followers in just one place.

Although there are differences between these believers and loyal believers, it is not difficult to see the huge power of Mingjiao from this perspective. If the anti-Yuan uprising is really successful, then there will only be one voice in the martial arts world in the future - that is

It comes from the Great Bright Summit of Moyun Peak.

This is also something that the six major sects are worried about. Today's martial arts is a triangular system with South Wudang, North Shaolin and West Emei as the core. As long as these three schools nod their heads, there is rarely anything that cannot be done.

But now the rise of Mingjiao is the biggest threat to this triangular system. Personal grudges are just trivial matters. The real reason that prompted Emei, Shaolin, and Wudang, together with the other three sects, to coerce many martial arts forces in the Central Plains to attack Mingjiao is to carve up it.

, strengthen yourself.

After thinking about this, it is not difficult to understand the psychology of these people. From this starting point, Song Qingshu can also find the best solution.

It is impossible for him to help the Mingjiao get out of this crisis, and even if he wants to help, it will be very difficult. And a kid will inevitably appear on the Mingjiao side. According to the plot, he can turn the tide and confirm the Mingjiao's leadership position in the entire martial arts world.

But Song Qingshu could not let such a thing happen naturally. The Mingjiao could not perish, but it must weaken. Just like without Zhu Yuanzhang, there would still be Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, without the Mingjiao, Wudang could also lead the anti-Yuan rebel army.

In this world, the people who really decide who will be the emperor are not the working people below, but those who have extraordinary martial arts skills. As long as Zhang Sanfeng is willing, he should be able to remove him from the deep palace compound immediately under the heavy protection of the guards.

The dog head of the Iron Pot Emperor.

No one can stop him, it's just an undoubted thing. This is why Yuan Ting has always been polite to the entire Central Plains martial arts community. This is a kind of Mo Yan's balance: Zhang Sanfeng can protect himself and kill the emperor, but he cannot protect the entire Central Plains.

Wulin: The Iron Pot Emperor cannot protect himself, but he can threaten the entire Central Plains Wulin.

So the two sides reached a tacit understanding that if the Yuan Dynasty did not touch the Central Plains Wulin, Zhang Sanfeng would not touch the emperor.

Judging from what has been done before, the process of world line development can be slightly modified, but the result is always the same.

For example, before, due to some unknown reasons, it was not Zhang Sanfeng but himself who rescued Zhou Zhiruo and Chang Yuchun on the banks of the Han River. Zhou Zhiruo also missed Wudang's recommendation letter because of this. But by some mistake, she ended up in Chuzhou Inn

In the middle of the journey, he met Master Miejie and was accepted as his disciple at first glance.

Song Qingshu felt that there was an invisible hand that was constantly adjusting and shrinking, trying to develop the world line into its original shape. He might not be able to change the final result, but he could try to change the intermediate process.

After settling the Wudang disciples, Song Qingshu rode towards the mountains. There were two famous large manors next to Guyun Peak. Song Qingshu also listened to people in the small town talking about it, and then he remembered that Zhuwu Lian Manor was

nearby.

It was already dark when we reached Lianhuan Manor, so it was not difficult to find the manor. It was pitch dark in the mountains at night, but this place was brightly lit. There were servants on duty inside and outside the manor, each with a sword on their shoulder, and they looked very imposing.

Zhu and Wu families each have a manor, which is built in the Jiangnan garden style and has been passed down from their ancestors for hundreds of years. Because the two manors are connected and seem to be one, Jianghu is called Lianlian Manor.

The ancestors of the Zhu family are Zhu Ziliu, a disciple of Master Yideng of the Southern Emperor, and the ancestors of the Wu family are Wu Xiuwen, the son of Wu Santong, a disciple of Master Yideng. The Zhu family is famous for its Yi Yang Finger, while the Wu family is good at the orchid acupuncture point manipulation. In the martial arts, these two families are very fond of each other.
