Wuliang Mountain is located in the Tiannan area. The terrain here is mainly hilly, so there are few steep and dangerous peaks that reach into the clouds. However, the trees here grow very tall, with wide branches and leaves, covering the sky.
Amidst the undulating mountains, there are clouds and mist, and dense forests. During the period, there are roaring tigers and monkeys, elk running among them, tall birds perching on the branches. There are many exotic flowers and plants in the mountains, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials. It is like a fairy family.
blessed land.
Jianhu Palace is located on the top of a relatively high and sudden peak, and is surrounded by some smaller peaks. Surrounded by the peaks, the white clouds are long and misty, which is very pleasant.
Xingwu stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the undulating mountains below. In the hazy mist, between the wide dense forests of leaves, you could faintly hear the roar of lions, the roar of tigers, and the surging clouds and mists.
The slanting sun in the west at dusk cast its rays slanting in, giving the rolling clouds and mist a layer of golden color. The golden light shone brightly, as if a lot of gold powder was scattered and flying in the wind.
The mountain wind blew whistling, and the purple robe on his body was fluttering, and his clothes were fluttering. If the hair on his head was not a little shorter, facing the golden mist below, it would really make people think that
It's like gods descending to earth and immortals coming to earth.
Zuo Zimu stood respectfully behind him. He looked at the nothingness on the edge of the cliff and saw that on his exposed head, his hair was only a few inches long. He was also very confused in his heart, why did his lord
Cut your hair so short.
You must know that this is in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he learned the lessons of the rebellion in the vassal towns of the former Tang Dynasty and greatly strengthened the centralization of central power. Not only it greatly improved the centralization of power in terms of military and economic aspects.
, all elite soldiers from all over the country were transferred to the capital to serve as guards, and most of the fiscal and tax revenues from various places were collected into the national treasury.
Therefore, the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty was that it was weak. The central yang was extremely powerful, but the local areas were indeed poor and weak, which led to ineffective border defense. The Liao and Xixia often invaded the border and drove in, but the local authorities were unable to organize effective resistance.
.
His approach made the Song Dynasty the earliest dynasty in history that was not rebellious due to internal rebellion, but was destroyed by foreign invasion. It is difficult to judge whether it is right or wrong.
Of course, in addition to military and economic means, he also exercised ideological rule over the people of the country, that is, he strongly promoted Confucianism in the Song Dynasty and greatly promoted Confucian loyalty, filial piety and etiquette, which meant that everyone could understand
Xiandu consciously believed that the imperial power was supreme and could not be violated, and any behavior that violated the imperial power was a heinous crime and unforgivable.
In Confucian thought, there has always been the idea that "the body's hair and skin are inherited from our parents and cannot be damaged." In other words, everyone's body is a gift from our parents. No matter when we do not receive the gift from our parents,
Do not harm them even if you allow them, otherwise it will be unfaithful and unfilial to your parents.
In the eyes of the ancients, the beard and hair were part of the body and were also indestructible. Now Wuxi actually cut off his own hair, leaving only such a tiny bit of hair.
Whether from the aesthetic point of view of the ancients or from the perspective of loyalty and filial piety, it was very inappropriate, but Zuo Zimu could only think about it in his mind and did not dare to say it in person.
This is the back hill of Jianhu Palace. Behind the void is the spacious and magnificent Jianhu Palace, and not far away is Wuliang Jade. He visited Jianhu Palace under the leadership of Zuo Zimu and passed through the disciples.
After arriving at the house, we came to the back of the house where the headmaster and the elders lived, as well as the treasure house, the attic where martial arts secrets were stored, and other important places.
Standing here, he felt very relaxed and comfortable. He was facing the whistling mountain wind, looking at the steep cliffs below, rolling clouds and mist, and the sound of roaring beasts, which made him feel like he was climbing high and looking far away.
, the transcendent and sublime feeling of being at the top of the mountain and looking down at all things.
Tread
Suddenly there was a sound of rapid footsteps from behind, disrupting the quiet atmosphere here and breaking the peaceful artistic conception. It was like a grain of sand suddenly falling into a calm lake. Although it was tiny, it still stirred up.
Ripples and ripples.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Xu Wu frowned slightly, but he did not look back, but continued to look at the clouds and rolling mountains below, listening to the roar of the wind.
"Head" is a male disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect. As soon as he walked in front of Zuo Zimu, he immediately bowed.
"Well", Zuo Zimu immediately raised his hand to stop him, "Don't call me the leader again in the future."
He has surrendered to Nihility. Naturally, he will no longer dare to claim to be the leader in the future. The Infinite Sword Sect must also become a thing of the past. He is a cautious person, and naturally he will not leave these shortcomings to make Nihility unhappy.
"Yes." When the man heard this, he quickly agreed. At the same time, he glanced nervously at the void in the distance. When he saw that he didn't look back, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Zuo Zimu also looked back at the void behind him, and pointed in the distance. The two of them walked a few steps and came to a place far away, making sure not to disturb the void.
"What happened?" At this time, Zuo Zimu began to regain his previous dignity and asked in a deep voice.
"Qizhang..." The man was about to say the word "master", but was immediately pushed back by Zuo Zimu with a glare, "There are several women in black robes coming down from the mountain. What kind of spiritual vultures do they claim to be?"
The holy envoys of the palace are here to ask us to surrender to them."
"The Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace?" Zuo Zimu wondered, "Then why don't you drive them all down the mountain for me."
"Hurry up," the male disciple said quickly, "but they are all highly skilled in martial arts, and the disciples and others are no match for them, so I came here to ask for instructions..." He pointed to nothingness, but he didn't know what to call them, or who to ask for instructions from.
"None of you are opponents? How many people are there from the other side?" Zuo Zimu asked in surprise.
"Only six people came from the other side," the male disciple said, while holding out a palm and a finger.
"Six? All six are women?" Zuo Zimu was startled and asked loudly, then he covered his mouth, knowing that he had lost his voice.
"Well, all six of them are women." The male disciple nodded, with his eyes lowered and his head drooped, not daring to raise his head.
After asking about the situation clearly, Zuo Zimu's face darkened. There were at least dozens of disciples from the Wuliang Sword Sect on his side. Adding in the dozens of disciples from the Shennong Gang, the total number was nearly a hundred.
He was so surprised that he couldn't even defeat the other six women. He looked at the nothingness in the distance and thought, there won't be another person like him.
Within two days, he suddenly met the men of Niu Wu and Zhao Lin, and later met three of the four evil men. Each of these people had much higher martial arts than him. Now six more mysterious people suddenly appeared.
The woman reminded him of the nothingness not far away, and he became increasingly unsure.
"What happened?" Not far away, a hollow voice suddenly came.
Zuo Zimu turned around and saw that he was still facing away from the cliff without looking back. He hurriedly said loudly: "Lord, my disciples just came to report that six people in black came down the mountain.
Women with unknown origins are wearing robes. They are all very skilled in martial arts. The disciples cannot resist them. The subordinates are afraid, afraid..."
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat them?" Xuwu said coldly.
"Yes" Zuo Zimu was surprised, "I am incompetent, my lord, please forgive me."
"Okay, I know who they are. You are indeed no match for them. Just take me there right now." Xianwu waved his hand and turned around with Zhen.
The three of them had just taken a few steps when a woman's voice suddenly came from a distance and shouted: "Where is the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect? Zuo Zimu, are you a coward?"
Zuo Zimu, who was walking next to Wuwu, immediately darkened his face when he heard this. Listening to the voice, he knew that the woman would never hit her at her age. Being scolded so loudly by such a young woman made him suddenly filled with anger.
.
"What kind of rat dares to come to my Wuliang Mountain to run wild? I'm here, Zuo Zimu, come here quickly and die." He roared forward, and the goat's beard on his chin tilted up in anger.
.
Peng
A figure rushed over quickly and hit Zuo Zimu with a strong force. Zuo Zimu's face darkened, he roared, and struck out with a palm. He was also the leader of a sect, and his martial arts skills were extraordinary.
He was weak, and his internal strength had been cultivated for decades, but when he struck the figure with his palm, he suddenly felt that his palm force was blocked, as if he had struck a strong boulder.
The force rebounded, and his arm suddenly went numb. The strong force on the figure was transmitted down, making him tremble all over. He was about to move backwards, but suddenly someone picked up his shoulder, and a more powerful and powerful force
It was passed over and then erupted from his palm.
boom
The impacting figure flew back again, faster than when it came, and attacked a black-robed woman who had just jumped out.
This woman in black robe was completely covered in robe, but two piercing cold lights did shine out from inside. A jade hand stretched out and pressed on the figure that flew back, but then she let out a muffled groan.
The woman was frustrated, suddenly shook, and flew back. The group photo flashed from behind, and two people jumped out one after another. They took action at the same time, and placed their hands on the shoulders of the first black-robed woman.
But then there were two more muffled grunts, and the three of them fell back together. After landing on the ground, they took another seven or eight steps back before stopping. Puff puff, the three of them spit out a mouthful of blood at the same time. It was obviously...
At this moment, he was shocked and suffered internal injuries.
"I didn't expect that the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect could be so skilled. It seems that besides Tianlong Temple, there are also dragons and tigers hiding in Dali." The first woman in black robe wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said fiercely.dd
