After passing the order to let the Mingjiao disciples investigate Xie Xun's whereabouts, Taiyuan stopped caring about it. With the strength of the Mingjiao, as long as Xie Xun was not killed, it would be a matter of time to find out his traces, so he was completely different
in a hurry.
Although Zhang Wuji was anxious, he had no choice. It would take some time to find one person in the huge crowd.
The most important thing for the Mingjiao at present is the anti-Yuan affair. In the next few months, the war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Mingjiao entered a stalemate stage. The two sides took Henan as the border and crisscrossed each other. Although they could not afford a big battle, small battles continued day by day.
.
The Mingjiao was busy consolidating the results of the war, and the Yuan Dynasty did not have enough power to break the situation, so a delicate balance was formed between them.
It is easy to conquer the world, but it is not so easy to govern the world. This is especially true for the people of the Ming Cult. Most of the people in the Ming Cult are from the bottom of society. It is okay to go to the battlefield and kill people, but when it comes to governing the world, they are not up to the task.
Fortunately, Mingjiao now occupies the anti-Yuan righteousness and occupies a vast territory. Among the people under its rule, it can still select a lot of talents. Therefore, in addition to being chaotic at the beginning, in less than a month, the situation in various places has changed.
It's become a little more stable.
Taiyuan, with the dignity of the leader, commanded the heroes, managed the internal affairs, sent troops everywhere, and wiped out the remaining forces of Yuanmeng, and was busy in darkness.
Originally, controlling the power of the world was not something he liked, but as time passed, he slowly discovered that governing the world and using human resources was an extremely effective way to exercise his soul. Compared with simply
Retreat and practice asceticism are all very powerful.
The Tao is in the world of mortals. There is nothing more complicated than the human heart, and nothing is more difficult than governing the world. He has gradually become enlightened and has gained a lot in these days.
"The world of mortals refines one's heart, and there is nothing more thorough than governing a vast world. It seems that Pindao has taken the right step."
After Taiyuan read a bunch of memorials from various places, he let out a breath, and his eyes became brighter. Not only did he not look tired, but he became more energetic.
This is a very strange scene, and it is also his biggest gain during this period. Every time he deals with matters in various parts of the world, whether farmland, water conservancy, construction, transportation, etc., it is a kind of momentum building for him.
The tempering of the soul and the excavation of wisdom are certainly hard work, but the rewards are also extraordinary.
With his master's state of innate fetal breath, he would naturally not destroy his body due to daily hard work. On the contrary, in the process, his own spiritual will became stronger and stronger, and he began to have a vague charm of the vastness of the world.
His spirit is strong, and his control over the physical body's true energy is becoming more and more powerful. His muscles, bones, membranes, and internal organs are washed and tempered by the innate true energy every day. His innate body is even more mysterious, with jade-like skin, tough bones, strong blood, and powerful vitality.
, already far beyond ordinary warriors.
Especially in the innate fetal breath, the inside and outside are the same, and the essence of the heaven and earth, vegetation, and trees are inhaled to temper the flesh and blood, and the effect is amazing.
Gradually, Taiyuan felt that his practice in the realm of innate fetal breath was getting deeper and deeper, and his martial arts had entered a mysterious and unpredictable level.
Time flies like water, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past six months, the development of Mingjiao has become stronger and stronger. Except for the Gyeonggi area that Yuanmeng mainly guarded, most of the nine states in the world have come under the control of Mingjiao.
Moreover, after the Mongol Tatars were expelled, the situation of the Han people in the world was greatly improved. With Taiyuan's experience gained from later generations, both agriculture and commerce have developed greatly. The people have finally come out of the dire straits of the past few years, although it is still not a big deal.
We are rich, but at least we have some guarantee of survival, and life is slowly getting better.
As a result, the prestige of Mingjiao greatly increased, and its entire function began to transform from a martial arts sect to a government court.
As soon as Taiyuan saw that the time was right, he had already started to separate Mingjiao from Tianxia. Wulin was a martial arts world and the government was a government. There must be a clear boundary between the two, otherwise big trouble would inevitably occur in the future.
So under his subtle influence, various Mingjiao armies began to transform into regular armies, and governments in various places gradually put up their own structures. Those who wanted to join the new imperial court were members of the imperial court, and those who wanted to join the martial arts were still considered
Become a disciple of Mingjiao.
This step can be said to be a big breakthrough. Even with the power of Ether Yuan, one does not dare to be careless and can only slowly decompose it.
Half a year later, the situation in Mingjiao gradually stabilized, and local construction was on the right track. Before Taiyuan could breathe a sigh of relief, news came that the whereabouts of the Golden Retriever Lion King had been found out.
Zhang Wuji came to him immediately.
"Master, have you heard about my adoptive father? What's going on?"
During these days, Zhang Wuji, as the deputy leader of the Ming Cult, traveled all over the world and dealt with major world affairs. He had gained some experience. Although he was anxious, he finally didn't lose his bearings. This made Taiyuan secretly nod.
"Yes, the news about your adoptive father is indeed available, and I believe it won't be long before it will spread all over the world. He is currently in Shaolin, and those Shaolin monks have already started planning to hold a lion-slaying conference in the martial arts forest."
Taiyuan's tone was calm, but he was actually a little angry. After all, Xie Xun was the protector of the Ming sect, yet the Shaolin Temple had quietly imprisoned him for such a long time, and was now preparing to hold a lion-slaying conference.
How could he not be angry as the leader of the Ming Cult?
You simply don’t take Mingjiao seriously.
Taoist Taiyuan really couldn't figure it out. How could this Shaolin Temple have such courage? Now the Mingjiao army has swept across the world and has occupied half of the country. It won't take much time.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) If you have to accumulate enough strength, overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty is just a matter of backhand. Under such circumstances, Shaolin dared to imprison Xie Xun, which really made him not know what to say.
"What? Shaolin? How is this possible? How dare Shaolin imprison my adoptive father?"
No matter how good-tempered Zhang Wuji was, he couldn't help but feel angry at this moment.
"Yes, I also want to know, what kind of support does this Shaolin have? It dares to imprison the Ming Cult's guardian Dharma King, and also holds a lion-slaying meeting. It seems that there is a mystery in this that we don't know about."
Taiyuan smiled lightly. When he said this, he was really curious. He didn't know what trump card Shaolin had to offend the Ming Cult in such a flourishing way.
"Master, if this is the case, what should I, the Ming Cult, do? Should I go directly to Shaolin to rescue my foster father?"
Zhang Wuji said these words with a hint of murderous intent. After all, he has been the deputy leader of the Mingjiao for such a long time. Over the past few days, he has often led the soldiers and horses under the Mingjiao in battles and fights. He has long developed his aura.
Compared with Zhang Wuji in the original work, he is obviously more decisive in killing.
At this moment, because of Xie Xun, Zhang Wuji was so angry that an iron-blooded evil spirit burst out uncontrollably.
"Haha, Wuji, there is no need to convene. If a friend comes to visit, you should go out to greet him first. We will talk about thanking the Lion King later."
Taiyuan Taoist's eyelids moved slightly and he said softly.
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but soon his expression changed, and he realized that someone was indeed coming not far away.
Although he only found traces of the person within a few breaths of time, Zhang Wuji was still shocked. Over the past few days, his martial arts had become more and more profound and mysterious, and he was about to break through the mysterious barrier between heaven and earth and step into the innate realm. Now it seems that he and Tai
Compared with the leader Yuan, there is still a big gap.
In a flash of footsteps, Zhang Wuji had already left.
Not long after, he walked in with two people. They were dressed in Taoist robes and had good temperament. They were also acquaintances. One was Wudang Song Yuanqiao and the other was Yu Lianzhou.
"Master, it's my two uncles who are here to visit."
"Well, Master Song and Master Yu, why are you two here so important?"
"I have met the leader of Taiyuan. Song and his junior brother came here because of the Shaolin Lion Slaying Conference."
As soon as Song Yuanqiao said these words, Taiyuan's heart was confirmed. At this time, Wudang sent people only because of the Shaolin Lion Slaying Conference.
"Master Song, the news about the Shaolin Lion Slaying Conference must have been spread, right?" Taiyuan Taoist asked softly, and Song Yuanqiao's answer made him completely sure.
"Yes, three days ago, Shaolin sent a message to the martial arts world, calling on all the martial arts to go to Shaolin, hold a lion-slaying meeting, deal with Xie Xun according to the rules of the martial arts, and decide the ownership of the dragon-slaying knife."
"Haha, Shaolin is really a big deal. They are going to hold a world martial arts conference. Also, the dragon-slaying knife also fell into their hands?"
Taoist Taiyuan was not surprised at the martial arts conference. Especially one of the martial arts rules made him laugh in his heart. What was surprising was the dragon-slaying knife. According to Zhang Wuji, this sword was used on Spirit Snake Island.
It had been lost, but now it suddenly appeared in Shaolin, which made him somewhat surprised, and many thoughts suddenly changed in his mind.
"That should be the case. If there is no Dragon Slaying Sword, how can they decide the ownership of the Dragon Slaying Sword?"
"Haha, don't worry about him anymore. I would like to thank Master Song for the news this time."
After a few people chatted for a while, Taiyuan ordered his men to arrange for Song Yuanqiao and others to stay.
Song Yuanqiao and the two didn't say much. Since they came this time, it was enough to show that they were on the side of Mingjiao. There were many reasons for this. One of them was Zhang Wuji, who was the son of Zhang Cuishan after all. With such a layer
Relationship, Wudang will naturally not go to trouble Xie Xun, and in the original battle at Wan'an Temple, it was the Mingjiao who saved their lives after all, and the life-saving grace must be repaid. More importantly, it was Zhang Sanfeng's order.
Zhang Sanfeng has made it clear that he wants Wudang to advance and retreat together with Mingjiao this time. As for the so-called distinction between good and evil, he no longer cares much about it.
This is not surprising. Today's Mingjiao can no longer be classified as a heretic. Most of the world belongs to the Mingjiao, as if a new dynasty has been established. Who dares to say that Mingjiao is a heretic.
"Wuji, go and pass on the order. Mingjiao must stabilize the situation in the world and not give Yuan Meng an opportunity to take advantage of it. Also, let the envoys on the left and right, Wei Bat King, Eagle King and others come to Haozhou as soon as possible. After a while, I, Mingjiao, will
Let's go to Shaolin. I want to see what the Shaolin Lion Slaying Convention can be like."
Taoist Taiyuan smiled softly and gave Zhang Wuji instructions.
In recent days, Songshan Shaolin Temple has been very busy, with martial arts practitioners carrying knives and swords coming everywhere.
Not only the major righteous sects in the Central Plains Wulin, but also some small gangs and sects have gathered together, wanting to see this grand martial arts event.
Outside the Shaolin Mountain Gate, each and every strong Zhike monk is constantly guiding the coming martial arts heroes, arranging food and accommodation, and is busy.
In just two or three days, there were probably thousands of martial arts heroes arriving in Shaolin, including Huashan Sect, Kongtong Sect, Kunlun Sect, Emei Sect, Shenquan Sect, Haisha Clan, Beggar Clan, etc.
All the sects are present, and people of all shapes and forms can be seen everywhere.
The bells are ringing melodiously, the ancient temples are roaring, and there is a scene in the Shaolin Temple
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page.) Around the wide square, people from all walks of life were already seated.
As the bell rang, the noise slowly subsided.
As the heroes from all walks of life looked left and right, they soon realized the strangeness of today's situation.
"Huh? Why did Shaolin hold a lion-slaying conference today, but the Mingjiao and Wudang sects were not present? Is there something wrong with this?"
"Yes, both the Mingjiao and Wudang are the top forces in the world. At this time, these two parties have not arrived yet. I am afraid something big will happen."
"Hey, it doesn't matter so much. We are here just to watch the excitement. Self-protection is the top priority. If something happens, we must not get involved randomly, otherwise we will lose our lives."
Some warriors from small families began to whisper, their tone was strange, and they even had a hint of expectation. These warriors were all afraid of the world being in chaos. They wished they could see a shocking battle in Shaolin today, so it would be great if they behaved like this.
No wonder.
Even the other big sect members were secretly surprised.
It's nothing if the Mingjiao didn't arrive, but Wudang didn't show up either, which makes people think a lot. Over the years, Shaolin and Wudang have become famous all over the world, one in the south and one in the north, with great momentum. Both factions are superficially leaders of the righteous path.
But after all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there are indispensable infighting in private, but they have not yet broken their faces. Now that Shaolin is holding a lion-slaying meeting, Wudang is not present. The meaning of this is thought-provoking.
On the high platform in the center of the square, as soon as the bell sounded, several old monks in cassocks came out.
Kongwen, emptiness, and emptiness, these three divine monks are prominently listed. In addition, there are four or five eminent monks of the Kong dynasty. Their faces are unfamiliar. Only a handful of them know them in the world, and they don’t know who they were in the past.
Where to hide.
Each of these old monks has a solemn aura, and there seems to be a layer of precious light flowing on their faces. It is obvious that their martial arts skills are of great importance. Even if they are not as good as Kong Wen and others, they are not far behind. They are all top masters in the world.
Seven or eight powerful old monks came out together, and the shock it brought can be imagined, and the thousands of years of Shaolin's foundation can also be seen from this.
"Amitabha!"
I heard the monk loudly proclaiming the Buddha's name, and the Buddha's voice was solemn and solemn, like the sound of ancient temple bells, ringing in everyone's ears and spreading throughout the huge square. One can imagine the profoundness of his inner strength.
At the sound of the Buddha's name, the martial arts heroes from all sides who were whispering also fell silent, not daring to discuss any more.
Seeing the effect of his voice, Kong Wen was very satisfied.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly a loud laugh came from the distance.
"Haha, all the heroes from all over the world gathered in Shaolin. It was really a grand occasion of martial arts. But for such a grand occasion, would it be too rude not to inform me, Mingjiao? Taiyuan, Mingjiao, came with his envoys of light, the Green-winged Bat King, and the White-browed Eagle King.
Attend the meeting!”
The words seemed to come from very far away. Kong Wen's face darkened, and when the words reached his lips, he could no longer say them.
"I am extremely honored to have Master Taiyuan come to our temple. I am sorry for not being able to welcome you, but I still hope that Haihan will do it!"
The Buddha's voice was whispering, and this time Kong Wen had used the magical power of the Shaolin lion's roar to spread the sound far away.
The two of them were talking to each other at a long distance, but the sound was still in their ears. The depth of their skills and the wonderful use of them were astonishing.
Whoosh, in just a dozen breaths, there was a rustle of wind, and outside the square, outside the Shaolin walls, several figures flew past like lightning, and landed on the square in the blink of an eye.
Taiyuan Taoist's footsteps flashed, and his figure was like floating light. In the blink of an eye, a blue afterimage appeared on the high platform of the square.
"Haha, Master Kongwen, you are very good. Your Shaolin is also very courageous. Xie Xun is the protector of our Ming Church Church. Your Shaolin actually held a lion-slaying meeting in a grand manner today and also summoned the world's martial arts heroes. It's just that
Why didn’t my Mingjiao receive your post from Shaolin? Master Kongwen didn’t think we should give Pindao an explanation?”
The tone was as cold as the sky, with a ruthless aura in it. The strong aura made Kong Wen's expression suddenly change, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. It seemed that it was difficult to resist Taiyuan Taoist's sharp energy everywhere.
.
"Ahem, this must be the leader of Mingjiao Taiyuan. I'm polite. As for what the leader just said, I have reasons that I have to do. I hope the leader can forgive me for this."
Although Kong Wen was very afraid of Taoist Taiyuan's martial arts, this place was the boundary of Shaolin. As the abbot of Shaolin, there was absolutely no way that he would lose the prestige of Shaolin.
"Oh? Master, there is another reason why you have to do this? Then please tell me. Pindao also wants to see why you, Shaolin, don't take my Mingjiao in your eyes so much."
Taiyuan's tone became deeper and deeper, his face was calm, and there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
"Master Taiyuan, Shaolin held the Lion Slaying Conference this time to resolve martial arts disputes, and the person targeted was only Xie Xun, who has nothing to do with the Ming Cult. In the past few years, Xie Xun killed innocent people indiscriminately in the rivers and lakes. I don't know if there are any
How many martial arts comrades died at his hands, but it was only later that he fled overseas, making it impossible for anyone to find him. It was only a few months ago that Xie Xun returned to the Central Plains, and was discovered by me, Shaolin, and brought to Shaolin, but I, Shaolin, do not
If you dare to deal with it without authorization, you can only invite all the heroes from all over the world to gather in Shaolin, in order to judge Xie Xun’s actions and seek justice for the martial arts comrades who died at his hands!"
Kong Wen's tone was sonorous and firm, his face was even more solemn, and his whole body seemed to exude the aura of a monk with great compassion and great enlightenment.
