The Maoshan Mountains are a picturesque Taoist mountain with a beautiful environment. Because of the dangerous terrain, the mountainous area is adjacent to Danyang Jinling (Nanjing) in the west and the Yangtze River in the north. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
The power of Tianyin Mountain, located in the middle of the Maoshan Mountains, is the Pluto Palace of the Five Righteous Sects, and is the hidden master of the Maoshan Mountains.
The five peaks around Tianyin Mountain are Deyou Peak, Renyou Peak, Yuchen Peak, Baiyun Peak, and Qianyuan Peak. They are occupied by five righteous gangs, and their grades are first and second-rate gangs, just like the five gangs in the Palace of Hades.
guard.
On the outside of the five peaks, there are three peaks surrounded by Sancai, occupied by Buddhists. They are Wanshou Temple on Chongxi Mountain, Wanfu Temple on Jiuxiao Peak, and Wanning Temple on Yuanfu Mountain. They are all first-rate rivers and lakes forces, monks
There are over ten thousand of them, so they are called Maoshan Thirty Thousand Buddhas.
Spreading further to the periphery, there are famous scenic spots such as Nine Peaks, Nineteen Springs, Twenty-six Cave, and Twenty-eight Ponds. Most of them are occupied by bandits. They are not gangs, but they are powerful. Their number ranges from tens of thousands to as few as ten thousand.
Thousands.
In addition to the above-mentioned famous places and forces, there are another forty or fifty forces, tribes, etc. entrenched throughout the Maoshan Mountains. They are either indigenous tribes, reclusive families, bandits, etc.
Generally speaking, the population of the Maoshan Mountains alone is as high as one million. If they are united, they are a quite powerful force. Indirectly, the power, strength and reputation of the Hades Palace can be seen!
…
Tianyin Mountain is named after its overall shape is like a seal.
The highest main peak, Pluto Peak, is thousands of meters above sea level and reaches straight into the sky, making Tianyin Mountain even more majestic.
The overlapping mountains, thick mountains, ancient trees and boulders, and the lingering clouds make it both majestic and bright, quiet and magical, just like a fairy mountain on earth. It is worthy of being a famous cave paradise.
Hundreds of pavilions surround Tianyin Mountain. They are well-proportioned and luxurious. The glazed jade tiles bloom in various colors under the refraction of light.
Pluto’s Peak, Pluto’s Palace.
The Master of the Pluto Palace, the God of Pluto of the Four Demons and Five Gods, and thirty or forty elders of the Pluto Palace gathered in the hall.
"Jurong Announcement: All forces in Maoshan are restricted. Within three days, they must bow their heads to the Sui Dynasty and pay the autumn tax. Otherwise, they will be regarded as traitors to the people, and a wanted document will be issued widely, and the army will exterminate them!"
Ruan Chong, the third elder, was holding a piece of paper and chanting loudly, then he sneered disdainfully and said: "What a loud tone! Let alone Jurong County, even if the army of Jiangdu County comes, what can they do to me?"
There was a flurry of whispering discussions in the hall.
The Palace of Hades has always been recognized as the master of the Maoshan Mountains, and it has the feel of a foreign country.
Except for the few years when Emperor Shengwen Yang Jian first ascended the throne, the Pluto Palace never paid taxes, and no official dared to collect taxes from the Pluto Palace. The two sides had a tacit understanding that they would not offend the river.
Of course, if the people do not fight with the officials, the power of the rivers and lakes still belongs to the Sui Dynasty, and there is no open confrontation. The Pluto Palace rarely provokes the government, and because it is an orthodox sect, it often assists the government in handling the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which can be considered a happy cooperation!
Pluto glanced around the entire audience and saw that all the discussion had disappeared. Then he looked at the Great Elder Fu Yi.
Fu Yi understood and slowly continued:
"Not only our palace, but all the forces in the mountain range have received the county magistrate's notice from Jurong's new county magistrate Wu Xin. Now most of the forces have sent representatives to our palace to ask for advice and help. Let's talk about how to deal with it!"
"What else can we do? Just ignore it! Does the young Magistrate Wu really dare to go into the mountains to collect taxes?" An elder was the first to speak out without caring.
Someone retorted: "Magistrate Wu may not dare to collect taxes from my palace, nor can he do anything about it. However, other forces. I'm afraid he really dares. This is the real reason why the forces in the mountains want my palace to take charge!"
"The imperial court and the Jianghu have always been in harmony. Both parties have agreed that the outside of the mountain belongs to the imperial court, and the inside of the mountain belongs to the Jianghu. How dare a mere county magistrate dare to take the lead in breaking the rules and patterns? In this case, we will
Let all forces unite and block the entrance to the mountain to see how he gets in!"
"Don't forget! Magistrate Wu has now become famous and is known as the Martial Demon. He has also just surrendered to the Demon Sect and worshiped in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Is there any deep meaning in this? We must guard against this!"
"What to defend against? Do the Demon Sect still dare to send people to assist Jurong's army in attacking Maoshan with great fanfare?"
"Why don't you dare? Good and evil have been at odds for many years. Now that troubled times are looming, I'm afraid a new battle between good and evil is about to begin! We must think twice before we act!"
"So what? Our Pluto Palace has stood for eternity and has gone through hundreds of tribulations. When has it been shaken? If you want to fight, then fight! Besides, if the Demonic Sect dares to act rashly, let alone the right way, even the Buddhist Sect will not turn a blind eye and let it go.
Jump!"
"What if Wu Yao did not use the Demon Sect, but instead used the army? In the name of developing Jurong, he recruited two to three hundred thousand so-called 'militiamen'. I am afraid that this is just to prepare for this! Are we going to fight with the big army?
Will the Sui Dynasty start a war?"
…
During the formal discussion, the elders spoke one after another.
It is mainly divided into two parties. One is the line led by the second elder Jia Lin and the third elder Ruan Chong, which is the main battle; the other is the line headed by the great elder, the main he.
In general, the lineage of the Second Elder has the upper hand. After all, the good and the evil have been at peace for too long. Both sides are ready to make a move and need a new round of bloodshed.
Finally, both sides looked at the master of the palace, Hades.
Pluto looked calm and asked without answering: "Based on everyone's understanding of Wu Yao, is Wu Yao stupid? With Wu Yao's strength, power, and Jurong's army, is it possible to defeat us?"
The second elder, third elder and others frowned, wondering what the palace master meant.
"When he first emerged from the martial arts world, he rose to prominence at a very fast pace. During the pursuit and suppression by the Taiyuan Wang family, the Wuyang Buddhas and some gangs, he became stronger and stronger as he fought. There are no imaginary men under such a great reputation, so he is not stupid!"
The Great Elder Fu Yi was overjoyed and quickly and solemnly responded, then looked at everyone and continued: "It is said that knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger! If everyone knows a little bit about Wu Yao, they will know that he has a good reputation in everything, and he has basically occupied the 'reason'
He is not as unscrupulous, arrogant and bloodthirsty as people in the world think. Otherwise, he would not be alive now, and he would not be able to pass the test of being a county magistrate!"
"Hmph! The court, the world, and the world have been at peace for hundreds of years, and the martial demon suddenly provokes us. Is this reasonable?" Ruan Chong, the third elder, snorted coldly.
The Great Elder smiled and responded: "To a certain extent, it makes sense, because we are all under the jurisdiction of the Great Sui Dynasty, and we have no power to stand up to fight for the time being. Do we want to be the leader?! If Wu Yao is a demon
The door was pushed out to make us confront the imperial court? Is it intended to weaken my righteous strength? Otherwise, how could the Demon Sect spend so much money to recruit just martial demons? Don’t forget, among the Demon Sect’s gifts, there are ten
Ten thousand sets of ordinary weapons and five thousand sets of elite weapons!"
"This..." The third elder hesitated.
Everyone was silent. Thinking about it carefully, it is really possible, otherwise it would make no sense at all!
Mountainous areas are not suitable for military operations, and the number of Jurong's troops is even lower than that of Maoshan.
Whether it is a master, a strong person, or ordinary force, they are not on the same level at all. Wuyao has a brain cramp, dares to show his teeth and claws to all the forces in Maoshan, and still openly provokes him?
If something is abnormal, it must be a monster!
The Great Elder followed and reminded calmly: "Now that troubled times are looming, the Demon Sect is ready to move. Even if the world is not in chaos, the battle between good and evil is inevitable. However, our palace cannot be the one who stands out. It is just the autumn tax, and it is not much, so it is
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins are not enough for my palace to spend ten days. If you want it, just give it to him!"
The second elder's face darkened, and he spoke impassionedly: "It's not a matter of more money or less! It's a matter of prestige! If my palace weakens, what will the various forces in the mountain think? What will the world think? What will the people of the world think? Is it possible?
Are you ignoring the eternal reputation of my palace?"
"It's just the autumn tax! We are the people of the Sui Dynasty. Isn't it normal to pay taxes? What does it have to do with reputation? It's better than falling into the trap of the devil! In the battle between good and evil, the one who comes out on top always suffers the most!" The Great Elder
Said displeasedly.
The second elder sneered: "Is it just the autumn tax? Don't forget, Wu Yao has already extorted tens of thousands of gold coins from us as soon as he took office. Who knows how much his appetite is?"
The First Elder shook his head and replied: "It's completely two different things! What's more, it's illegal income. It's not against any force, but the difference between good and evil. It can't be called blackmail! Seriously speaking, this is because the Second Elder is not strict in disciplining his subordinates. Otherwise, how could it be done?
Is there any such thing?"
"If you want to inflict a crime, there is no need to hesitate! The power of Pluto cannot be violated!" the second elder said coldly.
The Great Elder frowned and reminded: "We are on the right path after all! The power of Pluto is not used to show off one's power or to be greedy. If this continues, the sect of Pluto will only go against each other and drift further and further away!"
Pluto is not the dark Pluto who is in charge of death in the Demon Sect, but refers to the Queen of Earth, also known as the Empress of Earth, who is kind and virtuous, controls yin and yang, nourishes all things, and is also called the Mother of the Earth.
"We have never forgotten the principles of Pluto. To give in is a kind of sinking. It will damage your prestige and hurt your morale. You must not do it!" the second elder retorted simply.
Everyone was silent and looked at the palace master.
They fought fiercely, but in the end it was up to the palace master to decide! This is the power of Hades!
"As a master, you must naturally have the majesty of a master! However, for some small matters, the master does not need to personally come forward. We, the palace, can just wait and see what happens!"
A light, majestic, irresistible voice slowly sounded, setting the final tone!
It’s just that it’s very vague, so everyone has to figure it out on their own!
Obviously, there will be another fight between Zhan and Liangmai!
…
Three days passed by in a flash.
Densely packed troops all over the mountains and plains gathered towards the Silver Spring Valley, with clear armor, sharp edges like stars, and banners like forests.
Six thousand Xinwu guards in fine helmets lined the mouth of the valley, looking cold and solemn, as powerful as steel lions.
Behind the Xinwu Guards are five thousand Xinwu Guards in reserve, and nearly ten thousand Yinquan Valley servants, guards, etc.
Opposite Xinwuwei, there is an endless sea of people, and the cold, iron-blooded and evil energy is flying in the clouds. Although the evil energy is not of the highest grade, it is large and wide enough, and the deterrence is not weak.
In units of ten thousand people, there are five corps of 10,000 people in the front, selected from nearly 70,000 Jurong troops; there are also five corps of 10,000 people in the rear, but they are selected from more than 300,000 "militiamen"
And the manpower comes out.
Whether it is a regular army or a militia, the weapons and equipment are the same, the only difference is the queue, momentum and morale!
It can be said that this time Jurong County has come out in full force to show its determination. (To be continued.)
