Chapter 30. Jianghu Talk.
Ma Ran, Tang Jiao, Fan Jia was far away, but Xiao Mo couldn't help but sit quietly behind the desk and think about everything just now. [Full text reading]
Xiao Mo thinks that he is not a very strong person. Because of this, he always maintains a certain respect for the strength of his incomprehensible imagination.
"He's a very hostile person, isn't he?"
After a long time, Xiao Mo turned around and asked Bei Shangquan.
"Stories" Everyone has their own story. My lord. However, do you really want to be the enemy of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong for the sake of a Tang Jiao? After all, it is a famous family on the rivers and lakes, and it is not comparable to ordinary gangs. β
After the initial surprise, Deng Shangquan now has recovered his usual depth and asked.
After hearing Deng Shangquan's words, although Xiao Mo nodded and replied, "Why not", but between his expressions, he fell into deep thought again.
Jianghu, although it has never been the mainstream of history. However, since the pre-Qin period, it has always been the focus of the imperial court. As the saying goes, "if the troubled times arise, the rivers and lakes will be chaotic first" is often in the rivers and lakes when the dynasty changes. Loyal or treacherous. There are always some crucial roles to play. Even in peacetime. These people in the rivers and lakes, especially those big factions, will also have an inextricable relationship with various forces in the court.
Even in today's Chu Dynasty, the atmosphere can be regarded as open. The Taoist practice of ruling by inaction is quite prevalent, but it is in the military department and the general's palace. There are still some departments that monitor and control the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and there is a "worship hall" in the royal hall dedicated to supporting some masters of the rivers and lakes, or guarding the royal family. or deterrent martial arts.
As far as Xiao Mo knows, although there are the so-called three masters in Zhang Qian's mansion, such as Qin Jun and others, they can be regarded as famous masters in the mighty martial arts, at least the Chuda around Xiao Mo is far from being comparable to them, but compared with those masters in the "Offering Hall" who are specially selected from various major sects, at best, they are just martial arts scattered people, and the rivers and lakes are brave.
In fact, for these so-called "masters of the rivers and lakes martial arts heroes", Xiao Mo doesn't feel that they themselves are very important, after all, Guo Jing, Yang Guo and the like only exist in them.
But to Xiao Mo's current status. No matter how strong the individual's strength is, it is meaningless, what is only emphasized is the word "potential", as long as the general trend is controlled, and even as long as it can affect the general trend, no matter how strong the personal force is, for people like Xiao Mo, it will not be able to make too big waves.
For example, that Tang Jiao, although she is a famous martial arts female devil, even if she is a master like Chu Da, she is taboo in every way, but just because the general series of the government is just the general series of the local government, she is already desperate, and she can only take refuge in Xiao Mo. Otherwise, if it was just the hostility of the people in the rivers and lakes, it would not make her so embarrassed.
It's just that although Xiao Mo doesn't attach importance to the personal force of the people in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't dare to despise the influence of the Jianghu sect. Especially some martial arts factions, the latent power is huge. It's even more awe-inspiring.
According to the information obtained by Xiao Mo, the bull's ears that are now in charge of the rivers and lakes are the so-called four major schools that people in the world are vying to recite, namely Shaolin Temple, Zhengqitang, Quanzhen Sect, and Longhu Mountain.
Shaolin Temple naturally does not need to mention much, since the five hundred warrior monks helped Tang Taizong conquer the world. It has established the foundation of the martial arts holy land and religious leaders. All dynasties have been royal cronies. The power is growing day by day. There are endless masters in it, and everyone knows it. The Shaolin master who is now known to the world is just the tip of the iceberg.
The most important thing is that under the operation of Shaolin for many years, its lay disciples have a great influence in the army and among the people, and there are countless branch members, and there are many officials in the court and the central government who are its followers, and their every move is far-reaching.
It is only today that Emperor Chu Ling believes in Taoism, and officials in the court and China have followed suit, and the influence and prestige of Shaolin Temple have decreased slightly, but it is still the head of the four major sects, and has a close relationship with the Chu Dynasty represented by Wang Han for many years.
Zhengqitang, second only to Shaolin, was established in the late Tang Dynasty.
At that time, there were various ethnic groups outside the country that continued to invade the Han family, and there were countless warlords fighting each other inside. In view of this, some aspiring scholars united, resolutely abandoned literature and martial arts, gathered together to practice martial arts, preach Confucian righteousness, defend their hometown, and for a time their prestige was extremely high, and the name of "Zhengqitang" also came from this.
Later, during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhengqitang also took refuge in Chu Taizu like the Shaolin Temple, and followed him to conquer the world, and fought bravely, and people were not afraid of death. But because of the lowly relationship of martial arts, it was a heavy number of casualties, Chu Taizu Tian Xian felt the loyalty and courage of the righteous hall at that time, and gave all the thirty-three copies of the martial arts cheats collected by the royal family to the righteous hall, and then rewarded it in every way, so that it has its current status in the rivers and lakes.
Since the Chu Dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years, the Confucian heroes in the Zhengqitang have abandoned martial arts and literature again, and the disciples in the door have become increasingly scarce, and the power seems to have dropped greatly, but the latent power is becoming more and more unfathomable, not to mention the innate good impression of the Confucian scholars in the literary world towards the Zhengqitang. Today's officials in the DPRK and China also have many descendants of righteous people. Although Zhengqitang itself has gradually faded out of the martial arts, there will inevitably be a chivalrous man born every ten years, with talent and martial arts, which is far from being comparable to ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and is admired by countless martial arts people.
It is rumored that Mr. Niu Yuxian, the current dean of Songshan Academy, is one of the four elders of Zhengqitang, but he doesn't know if the news is true or not.
However, when Xiao Mo went to Shangyuan City to serve as a supervisor, Deng Shangquan once said that Songshan Academy could find some masters of the Zhengqi Hall for Xiao Mo as guards, although Xiao Mo refused, but it can also be seen. Zhengqitang is indeed closely related to Songshan Academy.
Second only to Shaolin and Zhengqitang, it is the Quanzhen Sect that is in charge of all Taoist sects in the Chu Dynasty, and its establishment time is shorter than that of the Zhengqitang, just because the successive emperors of the Chu Dynasty are all believing in Taoism, but it is flourishing day by day, there are countless masters and famous masters, and there are endless talents and talents. Like that Shaolin, it gives people an unfathomable feeling, and there are countless believers led by the current emperor vying to pursue it, and today's prime minister Zhang Qian. When he was young, he was a registered disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and he was in the limelight for a while.
However, like Shaolin, although the Quanzhen Sect is powerful and influential, it is extremely low-key. Only occasionally, some third-generation disciples will appear in the rivers and lakes, and as for the elders in the sect, most of them just stay in the sect. Devoted to the study of Taoist scriptures and martial arts all day long. I don't ask about the world, but I also change it because of it
In addition, it is the Dragon and Tiger Mountain at the end of the four major sects.
Although Longhu Mountain is also a Taoist, it is different from the Southern Sect inherited by the Quanzhen Sect, Longhu Mountain is a branch of the Zhengyi Sect, and it is not liked by Emperor Chu Ling, but according to the convention, the mountain owners of Longhu Mountain will be canonized by the emperor as a national teacher, and it has never changed. So the prestige has not diminished for many years.
Although it is only famous for the ability to catch ghosts and make talismans, but the martial arts that it has inherited are not bad, compared with the other three major sects, the number of disciples of Longhu Mountain is the smallest, and the most low-key acts, from top to bottom, if it is not necessary, it will never appear in the world, and the various factions in the DPRK and China, it is rarely related, but also because of its mysterious and low-key relationship, but it is so that people dare not offend.
From this analysis, Xiao Mo can roughly see the reason why these four major sects can flourish.
Although they are strong, when they act, they act as if they are in a game, one by one, low-key; Although the impact is great and the latent power is amazing, it is hidden and not revealed, and it will never be used until the critical moment; Although it has a close relationship with various factions in the DPRK and China, it rarely directly participates in party disputes, so as not to arouse the royal jealousy.
The most important thing is that although these four major schools seem to have close ties with the major forces in the DPRK and China. But they are only loyal to the royal family. Tendencies toward the various factions in the DPRK and China. In a way, it's just a means for them to fight for their own interests. About that. It can be seen from the fact that Zhang Qian, Wang Han and others can only summon masters from the rivers and lakes for their own use over the years, but the royal "worship hall" is full of elders and elites in the four major sects.
In Xiao Mo's view, the essential difference between the four major sects and other Jianghu forces is that they have been inherited and operated for many years. It is no longer a simple Jianghu sect, or even a simple force, but a cultural inheritance and a symbol of faith, Shaolin represents Buddhism, Quanzhen represents Taoism, Zhengqitang represents Confucianism, and the disciples of Longhu Mountain are regarded as immortals in the Central Plains.
They know their own position very well, know their own strengths and weaknesses, know how to get the support of the imperial court, and set goals based on this, slowly develop, Taoguang and obscurity, and never show off their strength like ordinary sects", so that under such many years of operation, the four major sects have a solid foundation, and unless the world changes greatly, there is no way to shake it.
And this is the most disparity between the other sects and the four major sects, and it is the reason why Xiao Mo values the four major sects.
For more than 100 years, among the rivers and lakes, although there are quite a few sects that have risen, such as Huashan, Kongtong, Emei, etc., there are countless masters. In the eyes of ordinary martial arts people, it seems that these sects are not far from the four major sects, and even for a certain period of time, their light is still above the four major sects. But in fact, whether it is influence or latent power, or the wisdom of the foundation, there is a big difference between the two, like the difference between a star and a meteor.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Mo dared to promise that Tang Jiao would help her deal with the Tang Sect.
In fact, if Tang Jiao rebelled, it was not the Tang Sect. It is the four major schools of Shaolin, Quanzhen, Longhu Mountain, and Zhengqitang, so no matter how much Xiao Mo admires Tang Jiao's tenacity, I am afraid that he will immediately distance himself from Tang Jiao Ge Xiaoqing, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
However, Xiao Mo understood. Deng Shangquan's worries are also reasonable. From ancient times to the present, most of the Jianghu sects. When it reaches a certain scale, it will definitely be involved with the officials of the DPRK and the Central faction, although it is impossible to directly serve the royal family like the four major factions, but it is an inevitable way to defect to a certain old minister.
Looking at the rivers and lakes, there are only two sects that can be mavericks, one is the mysterious Tianli Sect, which is commonly known as the Demon Sect by the people of the rivers and lakes. The other one is the Tangmen in Shuzhong!!
The Tang Sect has been operating in Shu for hundreds of years and has deep roots. It is not inferior to the four major schools. Its secret weapons and drug-making methods are unparalleled in the world, and the art of assassination is rare. It should have been a sharp weapon in the eyes of the bigwigs of the DPRK and China.
However, no matter what dynasty or generation, no one has ever been able to accept the Tang Gate for their own use, and the Tang Gate has always been the Tang Gate of the Tang family, which shows that the strength of the Tang Gate is so strong that it can make the officials in the DPRK and China jealous.
Although Xiao Mo's reputation is growing now, his power is gradually growing. But rashly dealing with the Tang Sect may not necessarily succeed, but may provoke a strong enemy in vain.
It's just that the reason why Xiao Mo promised Tang Jiao to help her take revenge on Tang Men was not impulsive, but had her own grasp and reasons.
Heart. , heart, heart by heart, heart by heart
Considering that Deng Shangquan was not only the long-term entourage by his side, but also the bridge of communication between him and Songshan Academy, Xiao Mo thought about and sorted out all the information in the rivers and lakes in his heart, and saw that Deng Shangquan did not understand his thoughts, so he still explained: "Shangquan, I know what you are worried about, the Tang Sect is not comparable to ordinary Jianghu sects, but the reason why I want to deal with it this time is not impulsive. Own successful grasp. β
Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Di Shangquan's eyes showed a look of doubt, and he asked, "My lord, please speak."
Xiao Mo said slowly: "Today's Jianghu sect. Most of them have taken refuge in the various forces in the court, why can only the Tang Sect be left alone? In my opinion, there are no more than three reasons. First, it is natural that the Tang Sect itself is outstanding, and it is quite united internally; Second, the martial arts inherited by the Tang Sect made them more proficient in the art of assassination than any people in the rivers and lakes. This made the officials of the DPRK and China scruple and did not dare to force each other; Third, and most importantly, the point is that of all. That is the special environment in Shuzhong, there are many ethnic minorities of all ethnic groups, the power is great, and the relationship is complicated, and the Tang Sect has a deep connection with these ethnic groups, which makes the members of the court dare not use the power of the court to suppress it, for fear of affecting the whole body. Otherwise, the Tang Sect is not Shaolin Quanzhen, where can it be alone to this day. β
Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Di Shangquan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but nod and said, "My lord is wise, what you said is reasonable." β
Xiao Mo smiled slightly and continued: "And Tang Jiao's appearance changed everything. First of all, Tang Jiao's defection from the Tang Sect this time has already made it internally unstable; Secondly, Tang Men didn't know that Tang Jiao had taken refuge with me, the enemy was bright and I was secret, and even more Yi Xun Shusun and concave said that the different body clams were just closed and slowly operated: second, Tang Jiao was familiar with all the years of the Tang Sect, and her kung fu in making Dingmai female medicine was the first in the Tang Sect, and the previous Tang Sect's means of deterring the world were useless to me; At last. Tang Jiao dealt with Tang Men. In essence, it is the Tang Sect's own affairs, so that the various ethnic forces in Shuzhong have no excuse to participate in it" In this way, the various advantages of the Tang Sect to be able to stand alone have been lost. β
Listening to Xiao Mo's slow words, Di Shangquan nodded, but also figured out the meaning of Xiao Mo's words. After a long time, he asked hesitantly: "It turns out that the reason why you want to deal with the Tang Sect is not to uphold justice for Tang Jiao, but to control the entire Tang Sect in your hands?" β
Desert nodded and smiled, "Exactly. It is said that the Tang Sect once said that as long as they were given enough money, except for the emperor, no one would dare to assassinate them? Although I am arrogant, it is a pity for me that such a force is allowed to remain alone for so long. I was still thinking that today's Jianghu sects, those with a little strength, have been carved up by those elders. There is no way to develop, the appearance of this Tang Jiao is providential. But. This Tang Sect has been able to dominate Shuzhong for so many years, it has its own reason, although I have Tang Jiao in my hands, but I can't be in a hurry, let's make a fight slowly. β
The reason why the major factions in the DPRK and China will take those martial arts sects for their own use is because of their own reasons and benefits.
Although Xiao Mo doesn't think that these rivers and lakes are very important, he must also admit that at some point, these rivers and lakes figures can indeed play some very key roles.
For example, Chuda, although his martial arts are good. But on the rivers and lakes, he is still not stunned by the top, and there is the dark camp, most of whom are only third-rate characters. But to this day, they have helped Xiao Mo a lot. If the Tang Sect joins in the future, Xiao Mo's dark forces in the civil and martial arts will naturally multiply, and when he acts. It is even more powerful, and at the critical moment, there may be other unexpected effects.
On the other side, listening to Xiao Mo's explanation, Deng Shangquan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But Di Shangquan wanted to remind Xiao Mo that if Xiao Mo wanted to develop the power of the rivers and lakes, he would have a stronger "righteous hall." can be borrowed, there is no need to go to great lengths to plan the Tang Sect, such an act is just a waste of energy.
But in an instant, Di Shangquan thought of a secret letter from Songshan Academy not long ago.
In the secret letter, it is roughly to explain to Deng Shangquan the relationship between Xiao Mo and Songshan Academy
fill
When Songshan Academy found Xiao Mo, although he said that he would become an ally, Xiao Mo was just a mere talent at that time, how could he have the qualifications to form an alliance with Songshan Academy? Allies are just polite. The chess pieces in the game are Xiao Mo's true status.
But now, even Niu Yuxian didn't expect that Xiao Mo would be able to do it in a short period of time. With such status, prestige and merit. The most important thing is that when Xiao Mo gets these. did not rely on much of the power of Songshan Academy, so although Xiao Mo's power was just beginning, Songshan Academy had no way to control and infiltrate.
Today's Xiao Mo has a force independent of the great faction in the DPRK and China, which is impossible to ignore, and unconsciously, his identity is from a chess piece in the hands of a chess player to a chess player who can play with all the forces in the world!!
Therefore, the relationship between Penny Mountain Academy and Xiao Mo is now. It's a true alliance. Deng Shangquan stayed by Xiao Mo's side, he could only suggest, but he must not interfere, let alone let Xiao Mo feel that Songshan Academy wanted to continue to control him.
Therefore, after thinking of this, Deng Shang's overall complexion changed slightly, and then bowed to Xiao Mo and said, "The adults are not as good as the villains. β
Xiao Mo was thoughtful and slightly self-deprecating; said: "Don't talk about this, all day long to make profits, this and that, since the end of the battle of Shangyuan City, it has been continuous, so many days, where is it, the end?" Let's plan everything slowly in the future. After returning to Beijing, when His Majesty's reward is over, I am afraid that I will be able to get a period of free time, and I will finally be able to rest. β
Saying that, Xiao Mo coughed lightly a few times and said with a wry smile: "However, for more than two months, I haven't rested for a day, and I have been carrying it in such a breath, I am afraid that when I rest, this breath will be released." Instead, you will get seriously ill
"Childe is too worried."
Na Shangquan said with relief.
"My body, I hope so."
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly, and after laughing at himself, he closed his eyes and silently recuperated.
Seeing Xiao Mo's tired face, he knew that Xiao Mo was haggard because of his constant planning these days. Thinking of Xiao Mo's low-grade fever in the past few days, it has not gone away. Na Shang Quan quietly left the study, thinking about preparing some medicine soup for Xiao Mo.
However, he had just walked out of Xiao Mo's room. Deng Shangquan seemed to think of something, and his body suddenly shook.
But it was Deng Shangquan who suddenly thought that in essence, although he was by Xiao Mo's side, he was still a member of Songshan Academy, and he followed Xiao Mo's side, except for serving Xiao Mo. In addition to being responsible for the communication between Songshan Academy and Xiao Mo, he also has the responsibility of monitoring Xiao Mo.
Today's Xiao Mo still maintains a cooperative relationship with the Penny Mountain Academy, so he can still tolerate himself, but what if one day, the relationship between Xiao Mo and Song Rang Academy breaks down?
It is always common for the various factions in the DPRK and China to divide and merge. That Shangquan would not be naΓ―ve to think that Xiao Mo and Songshan Academy would continue to cooperate closely.
Thinking of this, Deng Shangquan couldn't help but think. If it really came to that time, how would Xiao Mo treat him?
Thinking about it further, now that Xiao Mo is a unique force, free from the influence and control of Songshan Academy, what is his current identity? Why would Xiao Mo tolerate him being under surveillance all the time? Expose all the secrets to him without reservation?
Could it be that after Xiao Mo's forces succeeded, he would still be willing to exist as a pawn of Songshan Academy?
According to Di Shangquan's understanding of Xiao Mo, this is simply impossible.
So, there is only one explanation, Xiao Mo is waiting for Di Shangquan to make his own choice, is he going to continue to work for Songshan Academy? Or turn to him and really take refuge in him!!
Come to think of it, for the rest of the day. Deng Shangquan was even more silent than before.
