When mentioning Mingjiao in the world of golden books, the first impression is naturally "The Story of Yitian Slaying the Dragon".
But in fact, Mingjiao has existed for a long time.
It originated from Persia, and its original name was Manichaeism. It was introduced to China during the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, probably around 700 years ago.
It is now the year 1062 of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Wuji became the leader of the Ming Cult at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and was the thirty-fourth generation leader. It was the year 1356 of the Yuan Dynasty.
In other words, Mingjiao has been in China for more than 650 years and spread through the four dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, with a total of more than 30 leaders.
Zhang Wuji passed it on to Yang Xiao, and was probably destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang later. The theory of a thousand years is an exaggeration.
Calculated this way, on average, it takes twenty years for one leader to become a leader.
So now, Mingjiao has probably been passed down to around the 18th generation.
The leader of this era was not well-known, but a few years later, one of the most prominent figures in the history of the Ming Cult appeared.
Fang La!
When mentioning this person, most people think of the person who was conquered by Liangshan in "Water Margin".
In fact, there was indeed such a person in Song Jiang's history, and he was also a rebel, but the scale was very small.
How small is it?
He has thirty-six people under his command.
It was also the prototype of the later Thirty-Six Tiangang.
As a result, at that time, the military power of the Northern Song Dynasty was completely decayed. Song Jiang, with thirty-six men, actually marched across Heshuo and Jingdong. There were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and no one dared to resist.
But that was only temporary. The imperial court quickly sent troops, and Song Jiang failed and surrendered.
But Song Jiang did not participate in the conquest of Fang La, because when he surrendered, Fang La's side was also almost defeated.
Song Jiang's surrender was not his original intention, but to preserve his strength. When the time came, he raised the flag of rebellion again. However, the second uprising soon failed, and all thirty-six people were killed.
Compared with roaming gangs of thieves like Song Jiang, Fang La was the most serious concern of the Song Dynasty.
At the beginning of his uprising, he had the momentum of the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He used the belief form of Mingjiao to confuse people's hearts. Fang La called himself Shenggong and named his reign Yongle. He got the response of the people and conquered prefectures and counties one after another, shaking the southeast.
When the troops under his command were at their peak, there were 300,000 men.
Although they are just a small group of people, this number is still considerable.
But just because Fang La established the political power and even drew the river to defend it, Xu Tu gradually planned to overthrow the Song Dynasty within ten years. Song Huizong could not sit still and sent out the most elite imperial army, 150,000 troops.
The Fang La regime was defeated in one fell swoop.
That's history. In the Golden Book world, Mingjiao became a powerful Jianghu force, so Huang Shang was arranged.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhou Botong recalled that Huang Shang led his troops to destroy Fang La, and for the first time showed his unparalleled magical power. He killed many of the envoys of the Ming Cult Dharma King, and then put an end to the rebellion.
Therefore, Huang Shang and Mingjiao are mortal enemies.
To be precise, the Song Dynasty court represented by Huang Shang and the rebel class represented by Mingjiao were mortal enemies.
One can imagine how happy Wu Que was when he found out that the fairy girl and the maid were members of the Ming sect.
However, just because his mind was fluctuating, his breathing became slightly heavier, his expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head.
Snap!
In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere, and a palm like cast iron penetrated the wooden board covering the entrance and exit of the secret passage and thrust towards Wuque.
Wuque turned his head to avoid it, crossed his folding fan, and directly pointed at the Taiyuan point on the enemy's wrist.
But the hand suddenly pulled away, and then the entire board broke open, and a figure rushed towards him with extremely fierce momentum.
It was He Xiangu.
This fortune teller who revealed the true face of Lushan is a very wealthy woman.
It can be seen that she is very old, but her hair is as white as silk, she is dignified and kind, and she does have the look of a fairy aunt.
He was extremely frightened and angry at this moment.
As a member of the Ming Cult, and against the government, the secret passage under the Xiangu Temple is undoubtedly the key escape route.
So the entrance and exit were exactly under the futon where she was meditating.
Once something happened, she would burn the temple, collect a large amount of money and land deeds, and escape through a secret passage.
But tonight, someone unexpectedly entered the secret passage without anyone noticing and eavesdropped on their conversation.
What her apprentice just said were all shameful things. Once exposed, years of hard work will be in vain.
With the intention of killing him, He glanced around and saw that there were three people in the secret room. Except for the man he was fighting with who had extraordinary skills, the other two showed no signs of practicing martial arts. He couldn't help but feel certain in his heart.
The offensive immediately poured towards Wuque.
"Even if this old lady is not a Dharma Protector, she is still at the level of the Four Dharma Kings!"
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action. This old lady's strength is no small matter.
But so what?
Wu Que's folding fan unfolded, flowing like clouds and flowing water, and his wrist turned with great dexterity, leaving a shadow of a peony in front of him, which received He's attack without any hesitation and melted it away.
This is the martial arts of Emperor Ye in "The Legend of the Flag Hero", the Sharpening Sword Technique. Tie Zhongtang, the descendant of Emperor Ye, was Chu Liuxiang's master, and later passed this martial arts to Xiang Shuai.
Wuque uses the Ming Yu skill to make him look both handsome and practical. He can eliminate and attack in an instant and take the initiative in an instant.
Seeing the enemy's exquisite moves, He gritted his teeth, used a Jiazi's strength, and pushed him over with one palm.
This is to use force to suppress them. The secret room is small after all. If Wu Que blindly dodges, his two ordinary companions will inevitably be exposed. Only by forcing him to fight hard can he have the possibility of winning quickly.
However, Wu Que smiled coldly and turned his palm in a circle, and the surging wind actually changed its direction and blasted towards herself.
He was caught off guard and was forced to catch it with his left palm. His face turned pale and he flew back. His throat became sweet and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
What shocked her even more was this familiar method: "Great shift of the universe?"
Wuque smiled and said: "You are not the only one who can borrow the strength of the Ming Church, but I like the Great Shift of the Universe very much, so I will naturally go to Guangmingding to get it!"
What he performed was naturally the "Peerless Double Pride", Yihua Palace's powerful martial art "Yihua Jade".
This time I chose the world of "Dragon and the Eight Parts" because of the changes in the Murong family and the Ming sect's great changes.
These three schools are all signature martial arts that draw on each other's strengths. Wu Que is preparing to integrate the strengths of the three schools to create his own unique martial arts and advance to the second-star level.
At this time, the move was successful, and he did not waste any time talking to He. He launched the Cutting Incense Sword Technique, making sure to end the battle as quickly as possible and capture the opponent alive.
This is a long story, but in fact, in just a moment, in the strong wind, the maid in green clothes rushed into the secret room. Seeing He's lips bleeding, she was at a disadvantage. She couldn't help but turn pale with fright. She glanced at Huang
The two of them rushed towards me.
"A good training partner!"
Huang Shang's eyes lit up, he took the Zhuge pen and took the initiative to greet him.
Nightingale looked at Huang Shang's tall back, immediately protected him, and immediately became happy: "Look! He looks cold on the surface, but he must have a good impression of me in his heart!"
