People's ambition is almost irreversible, maybe only when you are old and understand the true meaning of life, ambition will fade, but how many people understand the true meaning of life?

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used the power of Mingjiao to create the Ming Dynasty and shocked the world, but when he turned around, he slaughtered the people of Mingjiao, making a gang that was the first in the world to be torn apart and almost destroyed. In the midst of the laughter, almost all of those major sects are out of the rivers and lakes, if it is not suppressed by the imperial court, is it possible?

Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, why is Fang La not like this?

Nanming slowly stabilized, and Fang La's age was also older, but looking back, most of the people in his court were martial arts people, especially in the army, and they were controlled by Mingjiao and other martial arts sects that helped him. While he was alive, these people would not dare to do anything, but what if he died? Perhaps, he doesn't care about his rights anymore, but what about his descendants?

Fang La didn't dare to imagine that he was afraid that the people in the Ming Sect would overthrow his son, because the biggest one in the Ming Sect was the sect leader. Now he is still the sect leader, but his son will definitely not be able to become the sect leader, because he does not have such profound martial arts. You think, as a prince, the first thing to learn is to govern the country, and then to martial arts. Even if you have a lot of martial arts masters, you can't become a master if you don't have time to cultivate.

Fang La's son is also a little master, and he cultivates the Ming Sect, but he doesn't practice the highest Qiankun Great Shift, because this skill can only be practiced by the sect master, and Fang La, who cultivates this skill, knows that this skill is too dangerous, and he will go mad if he is not careful, so he naturally doesn't want his son to take this risk. This is also the reason why his son cannot become the leader of the Ming Sect, even if he forcibly pushes his son to the throne, he will definitely be overthrown in the future.

So, for the sake of his son, he had to do something.

In the fifth year of Shengwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, in 1130, Fang La suddenly issued an edict, saying that Qingcheng, Penglai, Barberry and other sects formed a party for personal gain. The internal officials even suppressed dissidents and failed the high expectations of the imperial court. In the holy decree, there were seventy-three people involved, and more than 800 people in his family, all of whom were given death by Fang La. The three factions were naturally unwilling, but before they could move, they were besieged and strangled by the army, killing and wounding thousands of people.

This battle happened very quickly, almost completed in less than a month, not only did the world not expect. Even the people of the Ming Sect didn't expect it. When they reacted, everything had already settled, and those vacated official positions were also stuffed by Fang La's own people, as for the people in the Ming Sect, although they were unwilling and had the heart to oppose it, they had no choice.

After eradicating other sects at once, there was only one Mingjiao left in Nanmingzhong, which can be described as a monopoly. It's just that their lives are not easy, because the responsibility of eradicating other sects has been deducted from the Ming Sect.

You think, other sects have had accidents, and you have nothing to do with Mingjiao. Did you not do it, or did someone do it? As for Fang La, the sect leader, he was naturally excluded by everyone, because he was not just the sect leader now. is still the emperor, even if everyone has a grudge, they will not rush at him.

And that's exactly what happened. The statement of the Mingjiao people on the rivers and lakes is very disastrous, and all the disciples of the Mingjiao are rejected by the people of the rivers and lakes, although they are not crowned with the title of the Demon Sect like Xiao Aozhong, but they are also called traitors and villains. In fact, Mingjiao is wronged, but they can't say it if they are wronged, the martial arts people on the rivers and lakes here suppress them, and Fang La over there also uses his power to wear down their strength little by little, making them tired of coping, where are there still incidents to explain, and even if they explain it, others will not listen.

Two years later, Fang La summoned all the disciples of the Ming Sect and announced his resignation as the sect leader, but before he resigned from the position of the sect leader, he actually wanted to divide the Ming Sect into two and split it into the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect, which were respectively in charge of the left and right envoys. He did this, but it made the Ming Sect Leader angry, and many people immediately objected, and Fang La was also furious, because he felt that his authority had been provoked. On the spot, he killed hundreds of Mingjiao disciples, and surrounded the court with a large army, persecuting the Mingjiao disciples.

Everyone couldn't, so they had to follow Fang La's orders, and swore with the Holy Fire of Mingzun to divide the Ming Sect into two.

This matter naturally caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes, in the eyes of many people, Fang La is digging his own grave, he started by relying on Mingjiao, and there are many Mingjiao ministers in the court, and now he has done something to suppress Mingjiao. But there were also some people who supported Fang La, just like those people from the sect who had been attacked and killed by him before, and they applauded.

On this matter, there are many people in the Ming Sect who are unwilling, they see that the general situation is irreversible, and immediately announced that they will break away from the imperial court and become self-sufficient, just because they have made an oath, it is not good to take "Ming" as the honorific name, so they split the Ming into "Sun and Moon", which is for the Sun and Moon Divine Religion. This Sun and Moon Divine Sect has two meanings, one is to represent the Ming Sect of the past, and the other is to confront the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect, which is authentic.

The appearance of the Sun Moon Divine Sect definitely made Fang La angry, and it also made the minds of the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect angry. These people now are no longer the charlatans of the past, they are all ambitious politicians, and they are naturally unhappy in the face of such a situation. As a result, those disciples who showed signs were all killed by them, and the two factions even sent masters together to besiege the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and destroy it in their stomachs.

Fang La, who was originally angry, looked at it and was happy! Okay, I haven't moved yet, but you did, which just left me behind. So, he didn't say a word, let the three factions fight to death, and he watched the excitement on his own side.

In 1133, the heroes of the rivers and lakes suddenly gathered in the Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again. On this day, a man walked to the foot of Mt. Shomuro, and he seemed to be not young, but he didn't seem to be too much, which made people feel very strange. You see his hair, his ears and temples have turned white twice, but most of them are jet black, no worse than the hair of a young man. Looking at his skin again, although he looks old, he has no wrinkles at all, and he does not look old at all.

This person is none other than Lin Heng, who has not been down the mountain for many years.

When the world was in turmoil, Lin Heng took Li Qingluo back to Tianshan, and later because of Lin Chongyang's relationship, he collected information about the world, and he also knew some about the current Central Plains, but in the past few years, he rarely paid attention to the affairs of the world, especially after Li Qingluo died, he was even more obsessed with martial arts, so he didn't even ask about the Vulture Palace's own affairs, let alone the world.

It's just that today is 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 was kind to him, so he went down the Tianshan Mountain and came to Shaolin.

How old is the sweeper? Lin Heng didn't know what to do, Lin Heng had grown forty years since Tianlong, and he had also grown forty, he looked very old before, I am afraid that he was not younger than his current self, so he was at least one hundred and two.

"What's the use of living for a long time? If you can't break through, it's a cup of loess after all! ”

Sighing, Lin Heng's feet moved, and the whole person came to a distance of more than ten meters, he walked not fast, but every step stepped into a distance of more than ten meters, it was really incredible.

After years of cultivation, although Lin Heng has not broken through the innate selfless realm, and he doesn't even know what the realm behind him is, his cultivation has become more and more unfathomable. His skills have been completely practiced to the point that every movement and stillness are all mysterious and profound. If he moves, he can take people's lives with a single hand, just like the sweeping monk who killed Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan back then.

It's just that blindly moving forward must be difficult, although he has made great progress, but where is the next realm?

Lin Heng searched for a long time, but he couldn't find it. He read the ancient books of his predecessors and studied the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School and the Shaolin School, but unfortunately he still couldn't see the other side. It is only in the Six Passages Sutra that he can find some clues.

The Six Divine Powers have six divine powers, but Lin Heng only cultivated the Three Divine Powers, and later he didn't practice the Three Divine Powers, but he didn't know how to start. In his mind, when he knew how to cultivate the Dao, he would be able to understand the next realm without saying it. It's just that after searching for so long, he still doesn't have a clue.

He also tried to find other methods, such as swordsmanship. After he created fifteen swords, he was without swords, that is, congenital selflessness, so what about reaching sixteen swords? Lin Heng saw the Sixteen Swords early, which was naturally one of his hopes, so he groped for his swordsmanship and successfully created the Sixteen Swords. This so-called sixteenth sword is not like the previous fifteen swords, but a supreme realm of being a sword.

You can say that this is a completely new sword technique, because it is completely different from the previous fifteen swords, and it can also be said to be a synthesis of the previous fifteen swords, just like the general outline of the nine yin.

Hitting this sword, Lin Heng thought that he would touch the next realm, but unfortunately it wasn't. This sword is his pinnacle sword, but what this pinnacle represents is only his innate realm.

How to break through, still no clue!

This time he went down the mountain, he also held back for a long time, and he couldn't say that there would be a way to go out and walk, otherwise where would those Shaolin monks know that he was still alive, and they only sent a letter hoping that someone from the Vulture Palace would come, and they didn't know that Lin Heng would come.

Walking to the gate of Shaolin Temple, Lin Heng saw the monk who knew the guest, handed over the invitation, and Shi Shiran 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 Xuzhu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" (To be continued......)
