Chapter 30: Night Talk
Late at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The martial arts conference held by the twelve major sects had already been declared over in advance after the disciples of the Shenxing Shadow Sect left.
All the original plans, as well as the strategies to control the enemy, were also disrupted with a letter of war from Zuo Wuchang.
Wang Zhengnan immediately decided with the heads of the house, and at noon tomorrow, several of their leaders would come forward to re-negotiate the decision.
…………..
The night was deep.
The little two in the taverns along the street have already begun to plan for closing.
In a small wooden house on the corner of the street, Uncle Zhang carefully pushed open the door while sorting out his clothes with a red face, as if he had just done something bad and wanted to leave without being noticed.
At the other end of the southern city, the green building, which was open until the middle of the night, has also been extinguished.
The city of Hangzhou has finally entered a short quiet moment.
It's just that on the bank of the West Lake, in a room above the third floor of the Fulai Inn, there are still bright lights.
There are three sub-inns in Hangzhou.
And this one by the West Lake is the most magnificent one.
On weekdays, if you want to stay here for one night, almost all the expenses you need can provide for ordinary people to eat for several months.
Although the Fulai Inn is the Mo family's own property, it is already generous for the Mo family to vacate this inn for the use of the Jianghu people.
And in this inn on the shore of the West Lake, people from the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism live.
The room with the bright lights was the room of the martial arts alliance leader this time, Wang Zhengnan.
In the room, four people were sitting around a round table, discussing the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Shi Wuwei said loudly, "Senior Brother Wang, what happened twenty-five years ago? And who is this impermanence? ”。
He felt deeply puzzled about some of the things that happened on the rivers and lakes more than 20 years ago.
Moreover, he remembered that the person in the cave of Xiandao seemed to have been injured by his master more than twenty years ago.
He wondered if there was some connection.
Wang Zhengnan sighed, and did not directly answer Shi Wuwei's question, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know what caused this chaos in the rivers and lakes?" ”。
Shi Wuwei shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Mu Yiyi opened his mouth and said, "But is it because of Jinyiwei? Is it because the imperial court is doing trouble? ”。
Wang Zhengnan nodded and said, "Five years ago, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he announced that he would gather the directors of hundreds of schools and compile the Yongle Ceremony, which was the cause of this chaos."
Shi Wuwei was puzzled and said, "Jinyiwei went south to find the classics of the sect, but anyone who does not obey will be killed!" But senior brother, many people know about this matter, so what is the connection between this and the chaos in the rivers and lakes more than 20 years ago? ”。
Wang Zhengnan fell into deep thought, and his eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.
He said leisurely, "As early as twenty-six years ago, when Emperor Hongwu was still in power, he announced the compilation of a similar canon. At that time, the reaction of the southerners was much more fierce than now, in fact, the imperial court had not really begun to raid the world's martial arts, but Tu Wanfu, the leader of the Zoroastrian sect, had already united the various sects in the south and broke with the imperial court."
He paused, thought for a moment, and continued.
"Because it was the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was eyeing the north, the imperial court was no longer able to go south to quell the civil strife. In the following year, the chaos in the southern rivers and lakes has affected innocent people. In desperation, the northern sects gathered their disciples and went south to wage war with them."
Shi Wuwei was puzzled, "What does the Zoroastrian leader have to do with this impermanence?" ”。
Wang Zhengnan said, "Tu Wanfu is the master of Zuo impermanence. Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the predecessors of Confucianism were fighting with their lives, and the imperial court had given up compiling books, perhaps twenty-five years ago, the southerners would not have signed a truce with us."
Mu Yiyi frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, why did the imperial court give up the matter of compiling books?" ”。
She is the daughter of the royal family, and the issues she considers will naturally be biased towards the court.
Wang Zhengnan shook his head and wondered, "I don't know about this, why can't it be done." It's just that it is rumored that in that year, many people died in the imperial court, especially many people who cultivated to be powerful. It seems that it was the death of these people that contributed to Emperor Hongwu's decision."
Kiichi did not continue to speak.
Although she was a royal princess, she was not yet born when these things happened.
She only knew that her grandfather was also seriously injured that year.
She wondered in her heart, "Twenty-five years ago, what happened to the DPRK and China?" ”。
She really couldn't figure out what could make his great-grandfather change his mind about compiling books.
Shi Wuwei took over and said, "In other words, it was because of the failure of this compilation of books that the rivers and lakes were peaceful." Now, after the registration of the new emperor, the Yongle Ceremony has been recompiled, which will lead to the situation of today? ”。
Wang Zhengnan pondered silently for a moment before nodding and reluctantly agreeing with Shi Wuwei's statement.
Su Wushi saw that these people were always talking about compiling books, or things from twenty years ago, so he asked a little anxiously.
"Uncle Shi, is this impermanence really strong?"
He is not a person in the court, and he is not like Shi Wuwei, who is burdened with deep hatred.
He just wanted to know that this Zuo Wuchang dared to send a war letter to the masters of the twelve major sects, and his tone was tough, and he seemed to have some strength.
Wang Zhengnan frowned and replied.
"Twenty-five years ago, the Zoroastrian leader Tu Wanfu accepted two apprentices, one is the right impermanence, and the other is the left impermanence. According to rumors in the rivers and lakes, after Jinyiwei invaded Zoroastrianism, Right Impermanence was killed in battle, but Left Impermanence fled with his followers."
Su Wushi said curiously, "Then how does he compare to you, uncle?" ”。
Wang Zhengnan said with a solemn face, "Back then, he was about to step into the realm of a grandmaster, and now he has been practicing at the top of the third rank for many years."
When Su Wushi heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
He knew that his little uncle, compared to the heads of other major sects, his cultivation time was still very short. Although the strength of these three intermediate ranks is already very strong, it seems to be a little worse than this left impermanence.
Wang Zhengnan's heart was already a little uneasy.
He remembered very clearly that the two protectors of Zoroastrianism back then had actually been sharpened, and they were much stronger than their contemporaries.
If it weren't for the fact that there was such a figure as Qin Weiming in their generation, then maybe this result would be a little variable.
You must know that Qin Weiming twenty-five years ago, one man and one sword, and the good story of fighting the two protectors of the Dharma alone is still circulating in the ears of their generation, and it is often mentioned.
It's a pity that the truth is always helpless.
And where are the old friends who used to be like each other now?
