Chapter Seventy-Four. The death of Emei
After listening to Xiao Zhao's story, Lu Zhi couldn't help frowning... Did the Persian Ming Sect actually cooperate with the Yuan court?
But if you think about it carefully, this seemingly strange thing seems to have a sense of reasonableness.
When the Mengyuan Dynasty was at its peak, the cavalry under his command even went to Europe, and Persia was also conquered by the Mengyuan Dynasty, and many Han people were transferred from the Central Plains to live with the native ethnic groups of Persia.
Therefore, the Persian Ming Sect must have had contact with the Yuan court, and may even have taken refuge under Meng Yuan.
——— according to Yangdingtian's testament, the original Persian Mingjiao side ordered the Mingjiao side of Middle Earth to surrender to the Yuan Court in the name and identity of the head teacher.
Although the Yuan court has almost lost its position and is in decline, no one can forget their iron hoof power that spanned the Eurasian continent back then.
On the Persian Ming Sect side, the situation is also similar to that of the Yuan Court, the once invincible Persian Zoroastrianism, that is, the Persian Ming Religion, has long since declined, and it is almost impossible to survive in the native area.
On the contrary, it was the branch that was introduced to Middle-earth back then, that is, the Middle-earth Mingjiao, which is now growing stronger and stronger.
It is a pity that the Mingjiao on the side of Middle-earth, both in doctrine and in its way of doing things, has long been integrated with the unique concepts and characteristics of Middle-earth, and it is not the same thing as Persian Mingjiao at all.
Moreover, since the time of Yang Dingtian and his previous Yi sect leader many years ago, the Middle Earth Ming Sect no longer recognized the identity of the head teacher of the Persian Ming Sect, and ignored the various orders and requirements of the Persian Ming Sect, which was equivalent to directly independent of the line.
They want to restore the Middle-earth Church to the same doctrine as their Persian Patriarchate, and to serve the Persian Patriarchate, in order to reopen the theocratic era and restore the glory of the past on the Middle-earth side.
But whether it was the previous leader of the Yi Sect or Yang Dingtian, they all categorically rejected the request of the Persian Ming Sect, so the Persian Ming Sect was actually very hostile to the Ming Sect of Middle Earth, and even regarded it as a heretic!
If you think about it this way, it will be reasonable for the Persian Ming Sect to cooperate with the Yuan Court to deal with the Ming Sect in Middle Earth.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi suddenly realized, no wonder the Guangming Summit, was captured by the Yuan court so easily.... It must be the path that Granny Jinhua guided to the Yuan Court, taking them from the Bright Peak Secret Path to the Bright Peak!
Lu Zhi's mind turned sharply, and in a short moment, he sorted out the key points, although most of them were speculations, and there might be any mistakes or omissions or things he didn't take into account, but the truth of the matter would definitely not deviate too far.
"Brother Qingzhi?"
Lu Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, Jinhua's mother-in-law's affairs, I can help you... I am just going down the mountain this time to ask for help from the martial arts colleagues of the Emei faction, and by the way to investigate the movements of the imperial court, if I have the opportunity to meet the three envoys of Persia, I will try my best to help you rescue Granny Jinhua. ”
He said.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Zhao personally finding Wudang Mountain, Lu Zhi wouldn't have cared about the life or death of Jinhua's mother-in-law, such a selfish and unrighteous person, Lu Zhi would have done anything to her.
But Xiao Zhaodu had already begged for help in person, and Lu Zhi had indeed said that if he encountered difficulties, he could come to him for help, so he still accepted this matter.
Of course, he will not guarantee that he will save Granny Jinhua safely, he can only do his best, if it can't be done in the end, it can only mean that Granny Jinhua's life should be like this.
As for letting him save people at all costs, Lu Zhi can't do that kind of thing, at least it's impossible to take risks because of someone like Granny Jinhua.
Lu Zhi said: "Okay, Xiao Zhao, you have been traveling to Wudang Mountain for several days, you should be very tired, I will arrange for someone to send you to Wudang Mountain to rest for a few days." ”
Xiao Zhao said in a hurry: "Can I be with Brother Qingzhi?" Brother Qingzhi, don't worry, Xiao Zhao will definitely not hold you back. ”
Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhao, if I go down the mountain this time, there is a chance that I will be attacked by the imperial court, so I really can't take you with me." ”
"I know, you're worried about Granny Jinhua's safety, but think about it, if I have to be distracted to protect you at that time, maybe even you are in danger, then Granny Jinhua really can't be saved."
"So listen to me, you will live on Wudang Mountain first and wait for my news."
Saying that, without giving Xiao Zhao a chance to continue speaking, Lu Zhi directly called a third-generation disciple and instructed him: "Senior Brother Li, please send this Xiao Zhao girl to Wudang Mountain, arrange it properly, trouble Senior Brother." ”
Li Jiyang hugged his fist to Lu Zhi and said: "Senior Brother Qingzhi rest assured, Senior Brother will not return to Senior Brother's trust." ”
"This girl, please come with me."
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed.
"Brother Qingzhi, please be sure to save my mother."
"I'll do my best."
After seeing the two go up the mountain, Lu Zhi turned back into the team and went down the mountain with the large army.
As soon as Lu Zhi came back, Song Qingshu came up and asked with a smile, "Senior brother, that little Zhao girl..."
"Friend, there's no special story, don't beat her up."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhi directly blocked him back in three sentences, and then stepped out directly and chased after several senior uncles.
.......
In a blink of an eye, it was already three days later, Lu Zhi and his party went down the mountain, and then quickly separated from Yu Lianzhou and the others.
Lu Zhi, Song Qingshu, and Zhang Wuji were responsible for leading the Wudang disciples to rescue the people of the Emei faction, while Yu Lianzhou and them went north to contact the major factions and inquire about the situation.
Yuan Ting's action against their Central Plains Martial Arts is likely to be just the beginning, and everyone can see this.
And Shaolin, one of the leaders of the righteous path of martial arts, has announced the closure of the mountain a few days ago, so this matter of contacting various factions and discussing countermeasures can only fall on the heads of their Wudang faction.
On the other side, Lu Zhi and others have already come to the territory of Sichuan Mansion.
Wudang is not far from the Emei faction, on the third day, Lu Zhi and the others came to the foot of Emei Mountain, and then without delay, they immediately sent people to inquire about the situation of the Emei faction.
When Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu led people to investigate the situation, Lu Zhi went up to Mount Emei alone and went to the station of the Emei faction to check the situation.
When he arrived, the once prosperous Emei faction was only a pile of ruins, and a fire burned almost all the buildings to ashes, leaving only a blank field.
In addition, he also saw the corpses of many female disciples of Emei, those female disciples, one by one, were stripped naked and hung naked above the mountain gate, their bodies were covered with scars, as if they had been humiliated to death!
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi couldn't help but flash a flash of anger in his eyes, this person from the Yuan Court really deserves to be killed!
Swish!
Lu Zhi pulled out the Yuanhong from behind his back, slashed in the air, a cold light flashed, and the sharp sword qi instantly cut off the ropes that were tied to the Emei disciples.
He immediately flew up, his hands caressed through the air, and caught the corpses of those Emei disciples with silk stickiness, and gently fell to the ground with them.
"Please forgive me for the offense."
Lu Zhi saluted the bodies of the second sister's disciples, and then stepped forward, picked them up one by one, and prepared to send them to the mountains and forests behind for burial.
Sou!
At the moment when Lu Zhi stepped into the mountain forest, a cold arrow flew and shot straight at his eyebrows!
