Chapter seventy-four.
After listening to Xiao Zhao's story, Lu Zhi couldn't help but frowned. The Persian Mingjiao actually cooperated with Yuan Ting?
But if you think about it carefully, this seemingly strange thing seems to make sense.
When the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was at its peak, the cavalry under his command even went to Europe. Persia was also conquered by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and many Han people were transferred from the Central Plains to live with the various ethnic groups in Persia.
Therefore, the Persian Mingjiao must have had contact with the Yuan Dynasty, and it may even have taken refuge under the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
-According to Yang Dingtian’s suicide note, the original Persian Mingjiao, in the name and status of the chief religion, ordered the Central-Turk Mingjiao to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.
Although the Yuan Dynasty has almost lost its power and is declining, no one can forget the power of their iron hoof across the Eurasian continent.
As for the Persian Mingjiao, the situation is also similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty. The once arrogant Persian Zoroastrianism, also known as the Persian Mingjiao, has long declined and is almost being squeezed out in the mainland and can no longer survive.
On the contrary, the branch that was introduced to Middle-earth, the Mingjiao of Middle-earth, is now getting stronger and stronger.
It is a pity that the Mingjiao in China, whether in terms of doctrines or ways of doing things, has already integrated China's unique ideas and characteristics, and is not the same thing as the Mingjiao in Persia.
Moreover, since the time when Yang Dingtian and his previous leader of the Yi Cult many years ago, the Middle-earth Ming Cult no longer recognized the status of the chief sect of the Persian Ming Cult, and they simply ignored the various orders and requirements of the Persian Ming Cult, which is equivalent to
It directly became an independent lineage.
They want to restore the Middle-earth Mingjiao to the teachings of their Persian Archbishop, and take the Persian Archbishop as their leader, in order to reopen the prosperous age of theocracy and restore the glory of the past in the Middle-Earth.
But both the previous leader of Yijiao and Yang Dingtian categorically rejected the request of the Persian Mingjiao. Therefore, the Persian Mingjiao was actually very hostile to the Middle-earth Mingjiao and even regarded it as a heresy!
If you think about it this way, it becomes logical and reasonable that the Persian Mingjiao would cooperate with the Yuan Dynasty to deal with the Chinese Mingjiao.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi suddenly realized, no wonder Guangmingding was captured so easily by Yuan Ting's side. It must have been the path guided by Grandma Jinhua to Yuan Ting, leading them from Guangmingding on the secret road to Guangmingding!
Lu Zhi's mind raced, and in a short moment, he figured out the key points. Although most of them were guesses, there might be some errors or omissions or things he hadn't considered, but the truth of the matter would definitely not deviate.
Too far.
"Brother Qingzhi?"
Lu Zhi came to his senses and looked at Xiao Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, I can help you with the matter of Grandma Jinhua. I am going down the mountain this time to ask for help from my martial arts comrades from the Emei Sect, and to investigate the movements of the imperial court. If there is a chance to meet the three Persian envoys, I will try my best to help.
You rescued Granny Jinhua."
He said this.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhao personally finding Wudang Mountain, Lu Zhi wouldn't care about the life and death of Grandma Jinhua at all. For those selfish and unjust people, Lu Zhi wouldn't care what she does.
But Xiao Zhaodu had come to ask for help in person, and Lu Zhi had indeed said when he was at Guangmingding that if he encountered any difficulties, he could come to him for help, so he agreed to the matter.
.
Of course, he would not guarantee that Granny Jinhua would be rescued safely. He could only try his best. If in the end nothing could be done, it would only mean that Granny Jinhua's fate was like this.
As for asking him to save people at all costs, Lu Zhi couldn't do that kind of thing, at least he couldn't take risks because of people like Granny Jinhua.
Lu Zhi said: "Okay, Xiao Zhao, you have been traveling to Wudang Mountain for many days. You must be very tired. I will arrange for someone to take you to Wudang Mountain to have a good rest for a few days."
Xiao Zhao said anxiously: "Can I come with you, brother Qingzhi? Brother Qingzhi, don't worry, Xiao Zhao will definitely not hold you back."
Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "Xiao Zhao, there is a high probability that I will be attacked by the imperial court when I go down the mountain this time, so I really can't take you with me."
"I know that you are worried about Grandma Jinhua's safety, but think about it, if I have to distract you from protecting you, maybe even you are in danger, and then Grandma Jinhua really can't be saved.
."
"So listen to me, you can stay in Wudang Mountain first and wait for my news."
With that said, without giving Xiao Zhao a chance to speak further, Lu Zhi directly called a third-generation disciple and told him: "Junior Brother Li, please send this girl Xiao Zhao to Wudang Mountain and make proper arrangements. Please
Junior brother."
Li Jiyang cupped his fists towards Lu Zhi and said, "Senior Brother Qingzhi, don't worry, I will no longer be trusted by you."
"This girl, please come with me"
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a few seconds and then followed.
"Brother Qingzhi, please rescue my mother."
"I will try my best."
After watching the two go up the mountain, Lu Zhi returned to the team and headed down the mountain with the large army.
As soon as Lu Zhi came back, Song Qingshu came up to him and asked with a smile: "Brother, that Miss Xiao Zhao?"
"Friend, there is no special story, so don't try to influence her."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhi blocked him with three words, then took a step forward and chased after his uncles.
In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later. Lu Zhi and his party went down the mountain and soon separated from Yu Lianzhou and others.
Lu Zhi, Song Qingshu, and Zhang Wuji were responsible for leading the Wudang disciples to rescue the Emei sect, while Yu Lianzhou and the others headed north to contact the major sects and inquire about the situation.
Yuan Ting's actions against their Central Plains martial arts community are probably just the beginning. Everyone can see this.
And Shaolin, one of the leaders of the righteous martial arts, has announced the closure of the mountain a few days ago, so the matter of contacting various factions and discussing countermeasures can only fall on the Wudang Sect.
On the other side, Lu Zhi and others have arrived in Sichuan.
Wudang was not far from the Emei Sect. On the third day, Lu Zhi and the others arrived at the foot of Mount Emei. Without any delay, they immediately sent out men to inquire about the situation of the Emei Sect.
While Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu led people to investigate the situation, Lu Zhi went up Mount Emei alone and went to the Emei Sect's station to check the situation.
When he arrived, all that was left of the prosperous Emei Sect in the past was a pile of ruins. A fire burned almost all the buildings to ashes, leaving only a piece of white land.
In addition, he also saw the corpses of many Emei female disciples. Those female disciples were stripped naked one by one and hung naked on the mountain gate. Their bodies were covered with scars, as if they had been humiliated to death!
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi couldn't help but a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. This person from Yuan Ting really deserves to be killed!
Whoosh!
Lu Zhi pulled out Yuan Hong from behind and slashed in the air. A cold light flashed through, and the sharp sword energy instantly cut off the ropes that were tied to the Emei disciples.
He immediately flew up, caressed his hands through the air, caught the corpses of the Emei disciples with sticky threads, and brought them to the ground gently.
"Please forgive me for any offense."
Lu Zhi saluted the corpses of the Second Sister's disciples, then stepped forward, picked them up one by one, and prepared to send them to the mountains and forests behind for burial.
Whoosh!
Chapter completed!
