As the republic gained a foothold in the new territories, the republic began to exert its strength in one direction. On October 9, 1352, the Republic promulgated the Law of Associations and the Law of Religious Administration. There are dozens of articles in these bills, mainly requiring that martial arts halls and Taoist temples that practice martial arts in the territory must register martial arts practitioners with the local government within this year, and at the same time, those who are in the famous mountains need to disclose the property of the sect to the government.

The enactment of these laws is like putting a shackle on the previously lawless people of the charlatans. Now the martial arts people in the world are in an uproar, and at the same time they are looking at Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain is located to the west of Xiangyang City, and it is indeed within the control of the republic. When the republican put up the notice, two days later, the Wudang people went down the mountain to send a letter to the local government, saying that Zhang Zhenren, the head of Wudang, did not know some details of the new bill, and hoped that the people in charge of the republic could set a time and place to talk with him.

At the work meeting, Cheng Pan carefully read Zhang Sanfeng's letter three times. Put down the letter and said to the people at the meeting: "A centenarian came to invite them, reply to them, I will go there in person within seven days" He Cheng asked: "Commander-in-chief, how many security personnel do you need to cooperate" Cheng Pan waved his hand and said: "No, just bring the local grassroots staff" Wang Tianzhu said with some worry: "Commander-in-chief, but according to our intelligence, Wudang's martial arts are very high, which is essentially different from ordinary centenarians, just in case." "No need" Cheng Pan interrupted: "First of all, we are not going to destroy the door, but to discuss the implementation of these two sets of laws, and Wudang has no life-and-death contradictions, and secondly, Zhang Sanfeng has lived to such an advanced age, and his qi and morality are very good." When everyone heard Cheng Pan say this, they stopped mentioning it. Everyone here knows that Cheng Pan is also a freak, even if there is something, it is not certain who threatens whom. As a result, everyone stopped the topic and began to discuss the issue of assistance from the Anhui Industrial Zone to the equipment and technical personnel of the Hubei Industrial Zone.

Four days later, Cheng Pan and more than 30 local managers climbed Wudang Mountain, the scenery of Wudang Mountain in autumn is extremely beautiful, remembering the meeting with Zhang Sanfeng thirteen years ago, when Cheng Pan was still a small people who avoided the pursuit of the Yuan army, and now he is the ruler of the jurisdiction of the four provinces with a large overseas territory. Now recalling the past ten years, Cheng Pan sighed inexplicably and felt that his soul was more heavy.

After climbing Wudang Mountain, Song Yuanqiao took the initiative to receive him, of course, the surrounding Wudang disciples did not have a good face for Cheng Pan and his party, these Wudang disciples have a lot of dealings with the rivers and lakes, and now the mainstream of the rivers and lakes are people with industry, these people are the nature of the underworld in the future generations, these Jianghu forces are incompatible with the republic's policy of cracking down on illegal associations, and now the rivers and lakes agree that the republican government is too lenient, and hope that Wudang can take the lead in resisting. These young Wudang disciples are ready to say no to the republic just like the young people who were fooled by the media who took money and spoke in later generations, but the old and sophisticated Song Yuanqiao and their juniors and disciples don't see it that way, they know the fate of resisting the strong republic, they have also been to the territory of the republic, understand the living conditions of the people under the republic, and also know that the republic is not the strict management of the people and the harsh war with the outside world. Those who say that the republic is bad are often vested interests that own a lot of real estate, and if they are under the rule of the republic, they are the targets of the republican law, and the lives of the common people are far better and more stable than in the past. The word landlord class has never disappeared in the impression of Wudang's top brass, and Song Yuanqiao knows that the huge real estate that Wudang now owns is the landlord class in the definition of the republic. No matter how chivalrous the heroes of Wudang are on the rivers and lakes, punishing evil and promoting good, they can't change that their food and clothing are not produced by their own labor, but rely on the exploitation of land rent. Therefore, the deeper he understood the doctrine of the republic, the more overwhelmed Song Yuanqiao, a Taoist scholar who originally thought he was a good man.

So when Song Yuanqiao learned that the republican bill came down, he handed over this problem that had plagued him for a long time to his master Zhang Zhenren, Zhang Sanfeng listened to his doubts, and said: "You can change it if you know that you are wrong, the water of the river flows eastward, can you let it come back."

And Cheng Pan was invited to the back mountain to meet Zhang Sanfeng, when Cheng Pan faced this kind old man again, now Cheng Pan holds great power, Cheng Pan's spirit and spirit give people the feeling of solid, courageous, and dignified progress. But Zhang Sanfeng has another temperament, stable, heavy, quiet and smart. These temperaments are the external appearance of human character, Cheng Pan still had the youth of a young man ten years ago, but after ten years of hard work, he has firmly walked forward on his own path, and the strength and toughness in Cheng Pan's character are deeply reflected in his every move. And Zhang Sanfeng has lived for so many years, and his character is full of strength and strength, and his soul is rarely set off by external things. Zhang Sanfeng has experienced the demise of the country in his life, the five disciples being forced to death in front of him, and the third disciple being disabled, and a series of situations that are devastating blows to normal people. But Zhang Sanfeng is still Zhang Sanfeng, and his temperament has not changed greatly because of this. It can be seen how high his spiritual realm has reached.

Now Zhang Sanfeng is another scene in Cheng Pan's senses, two forces of the same level as the power of the sun, and even condensing Cheng DΓΉ's higher mysterious power is entangled in his body in the form of a yin and yang fish, Cheng Pan predicted that if he did not rely on the power of the sun alone to impact Zhang Sanfeng's mysterious power. The power of the strong sun will be quickly dissipated and fused by the yin and yang fish formed by these two forces. Zhang Sanfeng is the number one in the world, although he has no intention of winning this position, but after reaching this realm, he will see clearly.

After the shock of the first meeting, Cheng Pan straightened his face and said: "Cheng Pan visited Wudang Zhangjiao, real martial arts are really unfathomable" Zhang Sanfeng said: "Cheng Jushi said that he laughed, Your Excellency has entered the realm of heaven at such a young age, I am ashamed of the old man" "Heaven realm realm? Cheng Pan was a little puzzled. Zhang Sanfeng said: "Half a foot in the rivers and lakes, after all, he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and he still does not understand some of the secrets of the rivers and lakes. A trace of the power of heaven and earth that can be borrowed from reaching the realm of heaven and earth" Cheng Pan understood that he had obtained the power of the sun, a mysterious power, and a trace of the so-called power of heaven and earth obtained by martial arts cultivation to the extreme, Cheng Pan continued to ask: "Who has reached this realm throughout the ages" Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said: "At present, in addition to me, I have only seen laymen on the rivers and lakes, and there have been people who have reached the rivers and lakes before, but I know very little about the old way, it is said that for hundreds of years, his Dugu sword training has reached the extreme and reached the realm of the Heavenly Dao, and what he condensed is a trace of sword energy, With this trace of sword energy, you can reach the realm of heaven and earth and all things can be swords, and the original Yitian Sword and Dragon Slayer Knife are the sword pills left by Dugu's defeat" said this Zhang Sanfeng looked at Cheng Pan with some playfulness and said: "It is said that the ancestor of the lay is a swordsmith who forged the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife, don't you know about this?" Cheng Pan's face suddenly became a little weird, in front of Zhang Sanfeng, the elder, Cheng Pan was like a candy thief caught red-handed. Cheng Pan said with a little haha: "This, this, Zhang Zhenren, you know that I had just come into contact with the power of heaven and earth at that time, so I was a little curious about the Heavenly Sword with the same level of power." It's not that you don't know this extinction temper, so I'm just, you know." Zhang Sanfeng looked at Cheng Pan with some meaning and said: "I hope that the layman will have an agreement with me in Wudang and don't deceive my old way." Cheng Pan was a little embarrassed and said: "Dao Chief, don't worry, the big deal is a big deal when the agreement is about to go, in black and white, I won't have half a lie." Zhang Sanfeng looked at Cheng Pan's glasses for a while, then said with a smile: "I believe in laymen."

The two talked about martial arts again, Cheng Pan benefited a lot, the realm of heaven is very rare, it is the martial artist after the true qi is full, and the emotion reaches the scene under special circumstances. Cheng Pan's understanding of this is that the realm of heaven is a powerful force formed by the fusion of people's emotions and their own spirit and true qi under certain circumstances. Cheng Pan combined his own situation, when Cheng Pan realized the power of the sun, the cultivation of the basic internal strength of the whole body reached a bottleneck, and after being besieged by the enemy, a strong belief in survival supported him, so he hoped for the warmth of the sun under the oppression of the Xuan Ming True Qi. Thus gaining the power of the sun. Of course, genetic unlocking is also a reason. In short, the power of the sun is overwhelming.

Cheng Pan also has a question, whether there are other realms above the Heavenly Dao. Zhang Sanfeng's answer to this is "I don't know". However, according to the ancient books of the Han Dynasty, there were people in the Han Dynasty who crossed the realm of the Heavenly Dao, and these people were recorded in the book as Qi practitioners who returned to their innate nature.

After the exchange of cultivation questions, the two sides began to get down to business. Cheng Pan said: "The real person may already know the main reason why I went up the mountain this time, right? Zhang Sanfeng touched his white beard and said: "Although we are monks, we are still in the world, food and clothing are still not exempt from vulgarity, and I agree with the layman to practice the way of fairness, but I have a requirement in Wudang." Cheng Pan said: "Please say" Zhang Sanfeng said: "According to the state theory created by the layman, the state is based on the people, and the state has received the support of the public, so it must help the public to do things, establish fair rules, and at the same time be supervised by the public and cannot violate the rules established by itself." Is this true? Cheng Pan said: "The real person is right. Zhang Sanfeng said: "I Wudang will do according to the requirements of the republic to distribute the land to the Wudang disciples and pay taxes to the republic, but your republic cannot put an end to the existence of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I hope that Wudang can have a right to report corrupt officials and directly respond to the supervision of the high-level." Cheng Pan said: "This right is only possessed by members of the Supreme Assembly, and you want a seat in the Supreme Assembly." Zhang Sanfeng nodded. Cheng Pan said that the Supreme Council is elected by the people at each level. This kind of private institution is not available to Yiwudang now. Zhang Sanfeng frowned and said, "So what?" Cheng Pan said: "Wudang must be used as a regional management body to obtain this seat, first Wudang must be the administrative body of the state to manage the area of Wudang Mountain, Wudang must refine the management, be responsible for the forests, grasses, and public security of Wudang Mountain, and secondly, the disciples recruited by Wudang must pass the national assessment, and Wudang must provide medical talents for the country." Of course, the state will provide funds to Wudang, but Wudang must also disclose all accounts, because Wudang's property is owned by the state, and the whole of Wudang is hired by the state." Cheng Pan said these conditions. Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a while, and then said with a smile, you are making Wudang the official government of your republic in the Wudang region, and the conditions you put forward are even more aggressive than the conditions proposed by Zhao Min at the beginning.

Cheng Pan said: "I'm sorry, the right of the supreme supervisory power of the parliamentarians is the most important weapon of the country, and this right cannot be taken lightly by others. But Wudang can't guarantee that he will stand by the side of the people at all times, and I give you the right to supervise this non-election. In case Wudang and the local magnates combined. Zhang Sanfeng said: "If I agree to this condition, the seat of this councilor still needs to be elected by one vote for all Wudang, including the lowest-level disciples, right?" Cheng Pan nodded affirmatively in the face of this Sanfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "I promise" Cheng Pan was surprised. Asked: "You have to think clearly, once you agree, Wudang is the imperial court eagle dog" Zhang Sanfeng said: "The imperial court eagle dog is a person outside the republic, isn't it?" The Wudang faction agreed to this condition, and it was immediately the local government of Wudang Mountain, and the disciples of Wudang were the people of Wudang Mountain under the rule of the republic. As a local government, Wudang can have a seat in the Supreme Council, isn't it? ”

After a long time, the result of Cheng Pan and Zhang Sanfeng's discussion came out, and Wudang agreed to the seemingly harsh conditions and was completely annexed by the republic. But when everyone came back decades later, the Wudang faction was not annexed, but only accepted the responsibility of managing the Wudang Mountain area. Wudang is still Wudang. Wudang's martial arts have not been lost, and they have become more and more prosperous in the republic. And the Taoist spirit of Wudang has not changed. The republic just let Wudang change the platform. The only thing that has changed is that the people of Wuzhong are divided into two pieces according to their income, one is those who have not become monks or joined Wudang as Taoist priests, and these people rely on farming for a living. The other is the Taoist disciples of Wudang, who have sought the Tao of the Emperor Wu the most in their lives. They relied on state subsidies for their livelihood, and of course there were lay disciples who knew how to heal and dispense medicines, and these people relied on their medical skills to work for the republic.

After cooperating with Wudang, Gonghe got a large number of medical talents in the exhibition process. Three months after the agreement with Wudang was signed, a medical school was established at the foot of Wudang Mountain, which provided a large number of talents for the future migration movement.
