"Manager Zhang is really interested, good swordsmanship!" In the midst of the rain, just as Zhang Mu and Mingkong were fighting fiercely, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard!

The duel between Zhang Mu and Mingkong stopped, Zhang Mu turned his head to look, and saw that at the door, Elder Shui Thirteen was holding a bamboo umbrella, standing there leisurely.

"It turned out to be the Thirteenth Elder, I don't know what happened to me today?" After Zhang Mu saw Shui Thirteen, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a chuckle.

For every elder in the Shuijun Palace, Zhang Mu secretly inquired to understand the character and style of these elders.

And among them, Shui Thirteen is the most puzzling to him!

According to reason, Shui Thirteen was cultivated by the King of Water County, and his cultivation is also the most top-notch in the palace, and he should be the most loyal supporter of King Shuijun!

But in fact, in the palace, according to Zhang Mu's own observations, as well as through the information below, it was concluded that Shui Thirteen had only limited support for the Shui family sisters.

On the surface, he seems to be firmly on the side of the Shui sisters, but in fact, on many things, he has been silent and has a unclear position.

But at some critical moments, he will support the Shui sisters and maintain their authority in the palace.

This also made him a person who was not liked on both sides, and the Shui sisters couldn't really rely on him in their hearts, and at that time, Su Ji's side didn't think that Shui Thirteen would cooperate with them.

Therefore, Shui Thirteen's sense of presence in the palace slowly weakened, and he himself seemed to be very low-key, living in a simple place, and seemed to care about his own situation.

For Shui Thirteen, Zhang Mu only chatted a few words, but he didn't know the purpose of his coming today.

"Master Zhang, the little monk has gone to practice first!" After Mingkong finished speaking to Zhang Mu at this time, he turned around and left, letting the rain hit his clothes.

When he passed by Shui Thirteen, Mingkong also saluted him with his hands folded.

Shui 13 nodded lightly, and after Mingkong left, he looked at Zhang Mu with a smile.

"Thirteen Elders, let's sit in the house, we can't talk in the courtyard!" Zhang Mu said with a smile at this time.

Shui Thirteen nodded, and then followed Zhang Mu to the house!

After entering the house, Zhang Mu only walked a few steps, and his body was steaming, and a burst of water vapor was emitted on himself, and then his clothes were already dry!

After making a pot of tea, Zhang Mu pointed to the chair beside him and said with a smile, "Please sit, Thirteen Elders!" ”

Shui Thirteen nodded, sat down, and was silent!

Zhang Mu poured him a cup of tea, and seeing that Shui Thirteen kept smiling and not speaking, he asked curiously: "Elder Thirteen came to look for him, I don't know what instructions there are?" ”

"I don't dare to give instructions, in fact, I came to invite Mr. Zhang!" Shui Thirteen said with a smile at this time.

"Invite me?"

"Yes!" Shui 13 looked at Zhang Mu and said with a smile: "I want to invite Manager Zhang to join the Black Dragon Guard!" ”

With that, Shui Thirteen showed a black stone plaque with a black dragon with teeth and claws!

"Black Dragon Guard? What kind of organization is that? Zhang Mu looked at the stone plaque on the table, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly.

"It seems that Mr. Zhang has been in the mountains for a long time, and he doesn't know the outside world!"

"In short, this Black Dragon Guard is a guard subordinate to the royal family, walking the world for the royal family and supervising the world!" Water Thirteen said with a smile.

"Royalty? You belong to the lord of the Great Liang Kingdom? Zhang Mu looked at Shui Thirteen in surprise at this time and asked in surprise.

Water Thirteen shook his head gently!

"Could it be that there is someone else in the royal family of Daliang?" Zhang Mu looked surprised and puzzled!

Shui Thirteen smiled and said lightly: "Could it be that in this world, only Da Liang has a royal family?" What's more, Manager Zhang may not know that Daliang has no emperor, only the lord of the country, and they are not worthy of being called royal! ”

"So you're a spy from another country?" Zhang Mu continued to ask, but when he mentioned the word spy, he felt inexplicably awkward in his heart, because in a sense, he seemed to be a spy too!

"It seems that Mr. Zhang really doesn't know about Dongtu, and I think I should tell Mr. Zhang about the pattern of Dongtu first! I don't know if Manager Zhang knows the three sects and nine gates? ”

"Three sects and nine gates?"

"That's right, the three sects and nine gates are the masters of the entire Eastern Territory, and they can be called nine forces! Three sects, namely the Taoist Sect, the Buddha Sect and the Demon Sect! ”

"And the nine gates are the Confucian gate, the law gate, the soldier gate, the beast gate, the agricultural gate, the medical gate, the work gate, the merchant gate, and finally the supreme gate!"

"Three sects and nine sects, ruling over the entire Eastern Territory, hundreds of millions of living beings, including the sects and forces that Mr. Zhang knows, as well as this so-called Shuijun Palace!"

"To take the simplest example, the Bodhi Temple that you are familiar with is one of the four sects of Buddhism, which belongs to the Zen sect of Buddhism! And the Ancient Sword Pavilion where Su Ji Su was located before, was a small school belonging to the Sword Sect, one of the branches of the Dao Sect! ”

"For example, in this Water County Palace, it is actually one of the branches of our Supreme Gate!"

Hearing Shui Thirteen's words, Zhang Mu's face was even more puzzled!

"Aren't you a dynasty? How did it become the Supreme Gate again? ”

"Mr. Zhang, listen to me slowly! The three sects, the Buddha Dao Demon, they are in charge of most of the cultivation forces, and the nine sects are the secular forces that are in charge of the entire Eastern Land! ”

"Among the nine gates, the Supreme Gate, and the three Confucianism are called the upper three gates, and the three gates of the medical beast are called the middle three gates, and the three gates of agriculture and commerce at the back are the lower three gates!"

In fact, it should be seen from the name of Mr. Zhang, these actually represent the epitome of the entire Eastern soil! And our Supreme Gate is the first of the nine gates, also known as the Imperial Dynasty! Because the people in the Supreme Gate are all emperors! In the eastern soil, from the three major imperial empires to the princes and kings like the Shuijun Palace, they are all under the jurisdiction of my Supreme Gate, so can Mr. Zhang know the strength of my Supreme Gate, right? Shui Thirteen said lightly.

Zhang Mu looked at Shui Thirteen in shock, and said softly: "In this way, aren't the emperors of the world appointed by you?" ”

"You can't say that!" Shui Thirteen shook his head and said softly: "Actually, whether it is the three sects or the nine sects, they will only condense into a whole when they are external, and internally, they are actually very loose!"

"Taking the Dao Sect as an example, there are many schools within the Dao Sect, such as Fu Dao, Kendo, Dan Dao, etc.! And within the Buddhist sect, there are also four sects! Not to mention the Demon Sect! Among the Supreme Sect, there are actually branches, the three major dynasties, which are not subordinate to each other, and only when facing the oppression of the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons, will they unite! ”

"Oh, I see!" Zhang Mu nodded, understood, to put it bluntly, these three sects and nine sects are similar to the nature of various industry associations on the earth in the previous life!
