Chapter 42: Laughing and Proud
Seven more first-class masters were killed in the underworld, and the plan to assassinate Yue Buqun and Gu Qinghe failed, and the Songshan faction did not plan to attack the Huashan faction again.
Therefore, after the Huashan faction left Luoyang City, they returned to Huashan after more than 20 days of comfortable and comfortable travel.
After returning to Huashan, Yue Buqun took Gu Qinghe to the study, and showed Gu Qinghe another secret room, and this secret room recorded all the secret affairs of the Huashan faction over the past two hundred years and the big and small things in the rivers and lakes collected.
After reading these books, and adding his understanding of the world of Xiaoao Jianghu, Gu Qinghe added in his mind:
When the emperor summoned the sects to besiege the Sun and Moon God Cult, there were still so many sects that politely rejected him, Shaolin and Wudang were one of them, of course, only Shaolin and Wudang survived tenaciously after rejecting the emperor's sects.
However, in the past few decades, Wudang's Taijiquan Sutra and True Martial Sword have been lying in the treasure house of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and Shaolin has also sent a large number of monks to fight against the Japanese Kou, and has divided a Southern Shaolin who is dedicated to the imperial court, although this Southern Shaolin is not even a big faction, but he can still bear the title of Shaolin.
From here, it can be seen that Shaolin is a compromise with the imperial court, and Wudang is the same.
However, Wudang should have compromised with the imperial court after several elders of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect attacked at night eighty years ago and stole the Taijiquan Sutra and the True Martial Sword, just because they found out that this night attack was instigated by the imperial court.
Shaolin and Wudang are two super factions, ignoring the emperor's summons, and the emperor only used pressure to force them to make some concessions, which also indirectly shows the imperial court's fear of the super factions on the rivers and lakes.
Eighty years ago, the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect fell into the hands of the Huashan faction, and the strength of the Huashan faction at this time was only one line lower than that of Shaolin and Wudang.
In order for the Huashan faction not to become the third super faction, the imperial court must of course have to do something. However, this Wuyue Sword Sect was originally a spy of the imperial court, and it was not easy for the imperial court to turn its face directly.
Therefore, the imperial court handed over a peerless martial arts secret book called Sunflower Treasure Book sealed in the Great Inner Secret Library to Southern Shaolin (Putian Shaolin Temple), so that Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, disciples of the Huashan faction who happened to visit Southern Shaolin, could secretly read it successfully.
You must know that this sunflower treasure book was written by a great eunuch in the deep palace hundreds of years ago, and it is a martial art that is a collection of masterpieces, but in the past few hundred years, no one has ever cultivated peerless magic skills according to this treasure book, even the eunuchs.
However, this Sunflower Treasure Book is undoubtedly a masterpiece of martial arts, and even the sunflower cultivators who have a little bit of its fur have a very profound martial arts.
The purpose of the imperial court to hand over this treasure book to the Huashan faction through Southern Shaolin is also very simple: the sunflower treasure book is broad and profound, and everyone understands different things from it, so that the Huashan faction will have infighting because of this.
Sure enough, this sunflower treasure book that came out of the memories of Yue Su and Cai Zifeng opened the battle of the sword qi of the Huashan faction, which made the strength of the Huashan faction drop sharply, and it could not become a super faction that made the imperial court jealous like Shaolin and Wudang.
Eighty years ago, the imperial court did more than that.
The Huashan faction is powerful, in addition to giving the Huashan faction sunflower treasure book, the imperial court also secretly sent people to the Sun Moon Divine Sect, reached an agreement with the Sun Moon Divine Sect, handed over the Sun Moon Divine Sect Sunflower Treasure Book, and secretly let the Sun Moon Divine Sect become bigger, in order to consume the strength of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the several elders of the Sun Moon Divine Sect attacked Wudang Mountain at night is a vote for the imperial court.
After making up these things, Gu Qinghe muttered: "No wonder Wudang and Shaolin never intervene in the grievances between the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, it turns out that the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect have to obey the orders of the imperial court in a certain aspect, if Shaolin and Wudang dare to intervene, I am afraid that the imperial court will let the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect attack Shaolin and Wudang, right?" After all, the imperial court doesn't want any super factions to exist on the rivers and lakes. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Qinghe suddenly felt that the hand of the imperial court was stretched too long, Shaolin, Wudang, Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and Wuyue Sword Sect, these big factions have been more or less influenced by him for so many years.
As a result, Gu Qinghe began to make up for the influence of the current imperial court on these forces:
"The sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated", this is the undefeated title of the leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect in the east, with such an arrogant title, how can the imperial court be taken into account? This shows that the power of the Sun Moon God Cult is now comparable to Shaolin and Wudang, and the spies of the imperial court on the bright side of the Sun Moon God Sect should also be purged by the East Undefeated.
However, those spies of the imperial court in the Sun and Moon God Sect should also have someone lurking, and the news that Xiang Wentian learned that Ren Wuxing did not die should have been told by the secret agents of the imperial court.
Otherwise, under the nose of Dongfang Undefeated, even a mere Xiang Wentian could force the people of the Sun Moon God Sect who knew the inside story to betray Dongfang Undefeated? In this way, only the imperial court that monitors the world can find out the news that Ren Xing was locked up in West Lake Meizhuang.
Letting go of our bank is the same as giving the Huashan faction sunflower treasure book, both are the strategies of the imperial court envoys, and the civil strife created is just a different method.
With civil strife, it is necessary to create an external enemy for the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and this external enemy is the Songshan faction in the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the strong Songshan faction can not only put pressure on the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, but also be able to contain the Shaolin Temple in Songshan and hinder the further expansion of the Shaolin Temple.
Of course, the choice of the Songshan faction was also a lesson for the imperial court, back then, after supporting the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to deal with the powerful Huashan faction, it created the super faction of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
In view of this, the imperial court chose to support the Songshan faction in Songshan, thinking about it, the Shaolin Temple should not let the Songshan faction grow into a super faction.
With the support of the imperial court, the Songshan faction really grew rapidly, and its strength far exceeded that of the gate faction at the same level.
With such strength, Zuo Lengchan's ambition of the Songshan faction has also grown, and he wants to push the Songshan faction to the peak of the super faction.
However, with the precedent of the Huashan faction, Zuo Lengchan did not think that he could achieve this goal by developing the strength of the sect, after all, it would take too long, and the imperial court would obviously not give the Songshan faction so much time.
So, Zuo Lengchan came up with the idea of merging the faction, anyway, many years ago, after the siege of the Sun and Moon God Sect, there were many sects that participated in the siege and merged into the current Wuyue Sword Sect, thinking about it, some people in the Wuyue Sword Sect would not be too resistant to the merger faction, after all, some of them were inherited from the sects that came over at that time.
After thinking about this, Gu Qinghe muttered again: "The Songshan faction wants the Wuyue Fusion faction to become a super faction, so how did the imperial court stop it?" ”
Thinking of this, Gu Qinghe immediately opened his eyes wide, stood up from his seat, and said a name in surprise: "Linghu Chong!" Could it be Linghu Chong? ”
