Human ambition is almost irreversible. Maybe ambition will fade only when you get older and understand the true meaning of life. But how many people understand the true meaning of life?
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the power of the Ming Cult to create the Ming Dynasty, which shocked the world. But when he turned around, he slaughtered everyone in the Ming Cult, causing the world's number one gang to fall apart and almost be destroyed. Amidst the laughter and pride, those major
Almost all sects have stopped leaving the martial arts world. If it weren’t for the suppression by the imperial court, would it be possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, why not Fang La?
Nan Ming gradually stabilized, and Fang La got older. But looking back, he found that most of the people in his court were martial arts people, especially the army, which was controlled by the Mingjiao and other martial arts sects that had helped him.
When he was alive, these people didn't dare to do anything, but what if he died? Maybe he didn't care about his own rights, but what about his descendants?
Fang La couldn't imagine that he was afraid that people in the Ming Cult would overthrow his son, because in the Ming Cult, the biggest leader is the leader. Now he is still the leader, but his son will definitely not become the leader because he does not have such advanced martial arts. Think about it,
As a prince, you must first learn to govern the country, and then martial arts. Even if you have many martial arts skills, you will not become a master if you don't have time to practice.
Fang La's son is also a little master. He has mastered Mingjiao's unique skills, but he has not practiced the highest level of the Great Shift of the Universe, because only the leader can practice this skill, and Fang La, who practices this skill, knows that this skill is too dangerous.
If he is not careful, he will go crazy. Naturally, he does not want his son to take this risk. This is also the reason why his son cannot become the leader of the Ming Cult. Even if he pushes his son to take the position, he will definitely be overthrown in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of his son, he must take action.
In 1130, the fifth year of Shengwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Fang La suddenly issued an edict, saying that Qingcheng, Penglai, Funiu and other sects formed cliques for personal gain. Officials within them even suppressed dissidents, living up to the high expectations of the court. Seventy-three people were involved in the edict.
The three factions were naturally unwilling to give up, but before they could move, they were surrounded by the army and strangled, killing and injuring thousands of people.
This battle happened very quickly, and was completed in less than a month. Not only the people in the world did not expect it, but also the Mingjiao people did not expect it. By the time they reacted, everything had already settled, and those vacant official positions
Fang La also blocked his own people. As for the people in Mingjiao, although they were unwilling to do so and deliberately opposed it, there was nothing they could do.
After eradicating other sects at once, only one Mingjiao was left in Nanming, which can be said to be a dominant one. However, their life was not easy because the responsibility of eradicating other sects was placed on Mingjiao.
Think about it, other sects are in trouble, only your Mingjiao is fine. Is it not you who did it, or who did it? As for Fang La, the leader, he is naturally excluded by everyone, because he is not only the leader now. He is also the emperor, even if it is done by you, who did it?
If you have any complaints, you won't point them at him.
This is exactly the case. The Mingjiao people's statement in the world is very messy. All Mingjiao disciples are rejected by the people in the world. Although they are not given the title of Demon Cult like Xiaoao Zhong, they are also called treacherous villains. In fact,
, Mingjiao was wronged, but they couldn't tell them their grievances. Here, the martial arts people in the Jianghu suppressed them, and over there, Fang La also relied on his own power to weaken their power bit by bit, making them tired to cope with it. Where could there be incidents?
They came out to explain, and even if they explained, others wouldn't listen.
Two years later, Fang La summoned all the disciples of the Ming Cult and announced his resignation as leader. However, before resigning as the leader, he actually wanted to divide the Ming Cult into two, split into the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect, which were managed by left and right envoys respectively.
What he did made the Mingjiao leader angry. Many people immediately objected. Fang La was also furious because he felt that his authority had been challenged. On the spot, he killed hundreds of Mingjiao disciples and surrounded the court with an army.
, persecuting Mingjiao believers.
Everyone had no choice but to follow Fang La's orders and swear by Mingzun's holy fire to split the Mingjiao in two.
This matter naturally caused an uproar in the world. In the eyes of many people, Fang La dug his own grave. He made his fortune relying on Mingjiao. There were many Mingjiao ministers in the court, but now they actually suppressed Mingjiao. But
There were also some people who supported Fang La, just like the people from the sect who had been attacked and killed by him before, and they clapped their hands and applauded him.
Many people in Mingjiao were unwilling to accept this matter. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, they immediately announced their separation from the imperial court and established their own power in the world. Just because they had sworn an oath, they could no longer use "Ming" as their honorific title, so they split Ming into "Ming".
"Sun and Moon" refers to the Sun and Moon God Sect. The Sun and Moon God Sect has two meanings. One is that it represents the Ming Sect in the past, and the other is that it is in opposition to the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect, and is the authentic religion.
The emergence of the Sun and Moon God Sect definitely made Fang La angry, and also angered the minds of the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect. Although they split up the Ming Sect, their own power has greatly increased. These people now are no longer the gangsters of the past.
They were all ambitious politicians, so they were naturally unhappy when faced with such a situation. As a result, those promising disciples were killed by them, and the two factions even joined forces to send out masters to besiege the Sun Moon God Sect in order to destroy it.
In the belly.
Fang La, who was originally angry, was happy when he saw it! Okay, you guys moved before I even moved, which just happened to keep me behind. So, without saying a word, he allowed the three factions to beat him to death.
He himself watched the excitement happily.
In 1133, heroes from all walks of life suddenly gathered at the Shaolin Temple, and Shaolin, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again. On this day, a man walked to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. He seemed to be quite old, but he didn't seem to be too young either. He gave people the impression that
It's very strange. If you look at his hair, some of his ears and temples are already white, but most of them are pitch black, no worse than a young man's hair. Look at his skin again. Although he looks old, there are no wrinkles at all.
Like old age.
This person was none other than Lin Heng, who had not left the mountain for many years.
When the world was in chaos, Lin Heng took Li Qingluo back to Tianshan. Later, because of Lin Chongyang's relationship, he collected information from the world and learned a little about the current Central Plains. However, in the past few years, he rarely paid attention to world affairs, especially after Li Qingluo's death.
After that, he became even more obsessed with martial arts, and he didn't even ask about Lingjiu Palace's own affairs, let alone the world.
But today was different. Not long ago, he suddenly received news from Shaolin, saying that the sweeping monk had passed away, and he hoped that Lin Heng would come to watch the ceremony. He thought that the sweeping monk had been kind to him, so he went down to the Tianshan Mountains and came to Shaolin.
How old is the sweeping monk? Lin Heng doesn't know. Lin Heng has grown forty years since Tianlong, and he has also grown forty years. He looked very old before, and I'm afraid he is no younger than himself now, so he has at least one
One hundred and two.
"What's the use of living for a long time? If you can't make a breakthrough, you'll just be a cup of loess after all!"
Sighing, Lin Heng moved his feet, and he was about ten meters away. He didn't walk very fast, but he covered a distance of more than ten meters with every step. It was really incredible.
After years of practice, although Lin Heng has not broken through the realm of innate selflessness, and does not even know what the realm behind is, his cultivation has become more and more unfathomable. His skills have been fully developed to the point where every movement of his bones and every movement and stillness are mysterious and profound. He
If you move, you can kill someone with just a raise of your hand, just like the sweeping monk who beat Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan to death.
It's just that it's bound to be difficult to move forward blindly. Although he has made great progress, where is the next state?
Lin Heng searched for a long time but couldn't find it. He read through the ancient books of his predecessors and studied the Xiaoyao sect and Shaolin sect martial arts. Unfortunately, he still couldn't see the other side. Only in the Liutong Jing could he find some clues.
.
There are six magical powers in the Liutong Jing, but Lin Heng only practiced three magical powers. Later, it was not that he didn't practice the three magical powers, but he didn't know how to start. When he thought about it, when he knew how to practice, he would be able to understand the next realm. It's just that
After searching for so long, he still had no clue.
He also tried to find other methods, such as swordsmanship. After he created the fifteen swords, he became swordless, which means he was born without self. So what about reaching the sixteen swords? Lin Heng saw the sixteen swords early.
This was naturally one of his hopes, so he explored his sword skills and successfully created the sixteenth sword. This so-called sixteenth sword is not like the previous fifteen swords, but a kind of sword.
The supreme realm.
You can say that this is a completely new sword technique, because it is completely different from the previous fifteen swords. It can also be said to be a synthesis of the previous fifteen swords, just like the general outline of Jiuyin.
With this sword strike, Lin Heng thought he would reach the next level, but unfortunately not. This sword was his most peak sword, but what this peak represents is only his innate state.
How to break through, still no clue!
He had been holding back for a long time when he went down the mountain this time, and he didn't think there would be a way to go out for a walk. Otherwise, how would those Shaolin monks know that he was still alive? They just sent the letter hoping that someone from Lingjiu Palace would come, and they didn't know that Lin Heng would come.
Walking to the gate of Shaolin Temple, Lin Heng saw Zhike Monk, handed over the invitation, and walked into the Shaolin Temple. As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar face, but this person seemed to be too old.
"Little monk Xu Zhu, we haven't seen you for a long time!" (To be continued...)
