Qingzhou Prefecture is located in the middle of the Qilu land, with the Bohai Sea to the north, so the fishery is developed. Foreigners from the sea can be seen everywhere here, such as Koreans, Japanese, Portuguese and Nanyang people.
During the Ming Dynasty, throughout Asia, the Central Plains of China was relatively prosperous and developed. Therefore, people from countries such as Korea and Japan often came to seek a living. Just like now, in Qingzhou Prefecture and along the coast, you can often see people from large and small villages.

After the successful completion of the opening ceremony of Dugu Villa the day before yesterday, it announced the recruitment of thirty disciples. At the same time, Dugu Villa expressed its willingness to get along with the local martial arts elites in Qingzhou. The Villa mainly develops the seafood industry and does not have much territory on land.
Naturally, the purpose of accepting disciples is to hide their deception. Gao Ming has no time to teach them martial arts. He doesn't need to worry about these things. He showed a few tricks at the opening ceremony. On the Qingzhou martial arts road, many people came here in admiration. Gao Ming chose a few
A boxer and swordsman, Ren Zhuangshang is responsible for teaching his disciples. There are even some Koreans and Japanese who come here to become his disciples.
This is the benefit of Gao Ming's grand opening. If you have the ability and reputation, forces will naturally gather around you. Gao Ming also has detective skills. After selecting the people who defect to him one by one, the loyalty of those left behind will not be a big problem.
That's fine. As for kung fu, the daily safety work of the villa does not depend on them, but on the people of the Blue Phoenix Five Immortals Sect. What is more deterrent than poison.
Although he didn't take it seriously, Gao Ming discovered a good prospect in the vast sea of people. A fifteen-year-old boy Li Zheng fell into Gao Ming's eyes. Under the detection technique, Li Zheng's bone talent reached 10, which is perfect.
He is full of innate attributes, even better than Linghu Chong's innate attributes. Of course Gao Ming will not bury such a good talent when he sees it.
There were so many apprentices, but he was the only one chosen by the owner. Li Zheng felt like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky. He lamented his fate. He didn't know that he was extremely talented. He only said that it was his blessing that his master valued him.
.
Gao Ming has now accepted thirteen official disciples, and Li Zheng is ranked fourteenth. As Gao Ming's direct disciple, the benefits are naturally great.
Gao Ming took him into the space of the martial arts sect alone, taught him face-to-face instructions, and taught him skills. Based on Li Zheng's own conditions and interests, Gao Ming tailored a martial arts path for him, which focused on sword skills and palm skills.
As an assistant, Li was left to meditate on the cold jade bed to practice internal strength.
More than ten years later, when someone asked Li Zheng, who was already famous in the world, about his apprenticeship process, Li Zheng still lamented the kindness of his mentor to reinvent him.
Dugu Villa is located on the boundary of Guojiazhuang outside Fucheng. The life of the people here is relatively stable. The surrounding fields are full of crops. It seems that there will be a good harvest this year. The people work from sunrise to sunset, and they seem happy and stable.
However, there is an undercurrent hidden under the surface. After several days of unannounced visits here, Gao Ming and Lan Fenghuang discovered that most of the people here actually believe in religion. The name of the sect is actually the Holy Fire Sect. It is said that they believe in some kind of holy fire.
Pray for light.
Among the memories that Gao Ming has mastered, the Holy Fire Cult is another name for Manichaeism, and Manichaeism has a well-known name in China - the Ming Cult.
However, what the people here call Holy Fire Mingzun is only passed down by word of mouth. There is no organization or shrine to worship. It seems to be just a spontaneous belief.
However, Gao Ming does not believe that things are that simple. Since the founding of the Hongwu Dynasty, the Ming Cult has been strictly prohibited from preaching by the imperial court and has disappeared for more than two hundred years. Gao Ming has not seen any description of the remnants of the Ming Cult in the original works.
Is this Holy Fire Sect really just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the Ming Sect? Gao Ming was puzzled. Since he had no clue for the time being, Gao Ming's plan still had to go ahead. He learned from Lan Fenghuang that the Demon Sect was divided into two factions.
The main force is headed by Yang Lianting and is concentrated in Heimuya. The other faction is headed by Saint Ren Yingying and is concentrated in the Three Mountains and Five Mountains type of force. The force is slightly weaker in comparison.
Gao Ming has two options to choose from in order to whitewash the Demon Sect, but no matter which one, he needs to kill Dongfang Bubai. As long as this guy exists for one day, the Demon Sect will not be able to clear his name.
The first plan, of course, is to follow the original work, release Ren Woxing and merge with Dongfang Bubaihuo, and use the explosion of the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill to destroy the upper structure of the Demon Sect from within. The second option is for Gao Ming to take action himself.
Win over Ren Yingying, first split the demon sect from within, and then find an opportunity to kill Dongfang Bubai.
The second type is more dangerous. With superb martial arts, there is no guarantee that he will face Dongfang Bubai head-on, but the victory lies in simplicity and everything is under control.
As for the first type, although it is step-by-step and safer, the unstable factor of letting one go has too great influence. How to choose, Gao Ming was in a dilemma for a while.
Before Gao Ming had a clue about the matter, he met people from the Huashan Sect in Qingzhou.
Yang Feifeng, a descendant of Yang Guo, successfully became a disciple of Ning Zhongze of the Huashan Sect after Gao Ming's introduction. Her hometown was originally Qingzhou. This time Yang Feifeng returned to her hometown to visit relatives and happened to meet Gao Ming.
However, at this time, Gao Ming had already disguised himself as Dugu Yifang, and Yang Feifeng did not recognize him.
Yang Feifeng was shocked when Gao Ming took off his disguise. Then Yang Feifeng thought it was fun and pestered Gao Ming to learn the art of disguise.
Gao Ming agreed to her casually and asked about local people's religious beliefs.
Yang Feifeng grew up here, and she had indeed heard of the Holy Fire Cult. However, her family was descended from officials, and the law strictly prohibited them from engaging in religious activities. That’s why Yang Feifeng did not believe in religion, otherwise she would have joined the religion long ago. Speaking of the Holy Fire Cult,
It has an excellent reputation in the Qingzhou area. In previous years, when there was a drought or Japanese pirates were raging, the Holy Fire Sect would raise funds to provide relief to the victims. This was very popular.
Gao Ming nodded slightly after hearing this. Through Yang Feifeng's description, the Holy Fire Cult took the route of the lower class people, and winning people's hearts through disaster relief was the fastest way. Wasn't this the method used by the Yellow Turban Uprising to mobilize millions of people in a short period of time?
scale.
At present, the Holy Fire Sect has not made any changes, and it has won the hearts of the people in the local area. Gao Ming has no real evidence and does not dare to draw conclusions. He can only take one step at a time on this matter. However, he is prepared with both hands and secretly gives advice to Gu, played by Lu Ying.
Changfeng sent a letter to remind him to pay attention to the Holy Fire Cult.
Yang Feifeng's arrival here brought news to Gao Ming. The Taishan Sect was going to hold a Taoism promotion meeting recently. The group of powerful Taoist priests invited many martial arts giants to open the gates of the sect and recruit a large number of disciples.
Only then did Gao Ming remember that the Taishan Sect was the most powerful among the Five Mountains Sword Sects today, and even surpassed the Songshan Sect.
His junior uncles with the title of Yu include Yujizi, Yuyinzi, Yuqingzi, and Yuzhongzi. His junior fellow apprentices from the Tianmen sect include Tiansong, Tianyi, Tianbai, Tianming, and Tianling. Together with Tianmen, there are a total of ten
A master is in charge, so just looking at the weather, the Taishan sect is really strong and powerful.
However, Gao Ming is familiar with the inside story. The so-called masters of the Taishan sect are at the bottom among the five mountains. For example, Yujizi, the Taishan master uncle, is not as strong as the Hengshan Dingyi master. It is just a matter of seniority. In fact,
The effort is ordinary.
The only person with some talent in the Taishan Sect is Taoist Master Tianmen. However, this leader of Taishan has a strong personality and his conduct is not enough to convince the public. In the Taishan Sect, Yu Jizi and other junior masters are dissatisfied with him. However,
After all, the Taishan Sect has a large number of people, so those who are unaware of the martial arts still think that the Taishan Sect is at the forefront of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Gao Ming explained what he knew to Yang Feifeng, and Yang Feifeng suddenly realized that she had not witnessed the Taishan sect's martial arts with her own eyes, so she felt a little dissatisfied with Gao Ming's disparaging remarks.
Gao Ming saw the look on Yang Feifeng's face and saw what he was thinking, but he didn't expose it. He just wanted to execute the plan. Anyway, his identity here was confirmed. With his background established, he could go around the world to investigate information.
The Taishan Sect was not very far from Qingzhou Prefecture. About three days later, Gao Ming arrived at the foot of the Taishan Sect.
Traveling with him were of course the two daughters Lan Fenghuang and Yang Feifeng. When Yang Feifeng knew Lan Fenghuang's identity, the rebellious girl found it quite exciting.
Regarding any of her deviant thoughts, Gao Ming expressed his understanding. If it weren't for this kind of personality and the tradition of her family being scholarly for generations, how could a daughter of hers like to dance with swords?
Gao Ming really wanted to meet Yang Feifeng's parents and find out what kind of people they were who could raise such a woman.
Let's get back to the subject, the year before last, the Taishan Sect had gone through a fierce battle with the Demon Sect, but the masters in the sect had not suffered much loss. On the contrary, the strength of the other sects of the Wuyue Sword Sect had been weakened, and the people of the Taishan Sect were a bit ready to make a move.
Gao Ming analyzed the current actual situation of the Taishan Sect and felt that what was in front of the Taishan Sect seemed to be a great opportunity for its rise. Changing places, if Gao Ming were in Taishan, he also felt that the wind direction of the entire world was facing the Taishan Sect.
Development is beneficial.
Not to mention other things, just talk about the internal struggle of the Five Mountains Alliance. Since the birth of the Five Mountains Alliance, internal struggles have been constantly taking place. Huashan Mountain in the West Mountain and Hengshan Mountain in the North Mountain have successively lost their troops and lost their former glory. Hengshan Mountain in the Nanyue City has not been around for so many years.
Mr. Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng are worse than Hengshan.
The only opponent is the Yue Songshan sect. In the past year, several masters known as the Thirteen Taibao have died unexpectedly. The specific circumstances are unknown, but it can be seen that the Songshan sect is also on the decline. Only the Taishan sect has not suffered any major loss in strength.
, Therefore, the Taishan Sect seems to have the status of being the first of the five mountains.
Throughout the ages, there have been many people who could not see the situation clearly, and the Taishan sect's blind self-confidence would eventually suffer.
At least, Gao Ming didn't think that Zuo Lengchan would just sit idly by and let the Taishan Sect continue to toss like this. No, Gao Ming sensitively felt the familiar smells in front of him. After a little observation, he found Fei Bin and Ding Mian from Songshan Mountain.
He Lehou suddenly appeared here. They must have come here under the orders of Zuo Lengchan. Their purpose is brilliant and you can probably guess it. Please recommend, collect, vote!~~~~
