Wushan is a very special place, although it is in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because there is a goddess peak on the mountain, two hundred years ago, when the northern and southern dynasties made a covenant of partition under Xiangyang City, someone on the goddess peak spoke, saying that this Wushan does not belong to any of the northern and southern dynasties.

As for what the original sentence is, there are too many rumors in the rivers and lakes, and there are different theories, just like the turmoil outside Xiangyang City back then, whether it is Gao Chang who guarded the city gate alone and defeated countless top masters in the north and south rivers and lakes, or the Jingtian Pavilion Pavilion Lord who suddenly came to calm the battle between the two dynasties, they all have too many stories and colors, and Wang Shen has heard several of them.

But there is one thing, the rumors on the rivers and lakes are basically the same, that is, more than a hundred years ago, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent a large army to Jinzhou, Qianzhou and Chenzhou, and oppressed the Wushan territory with full strength.

Speaking of the boundary of Wushan, we have to mention the six roads of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Jingjiang and Jianchang two roads in the south, the remaining four roads are run through the Yangtze River, and this Wushan is on the Yangtze River, located at the junction of Chongqing and Jiangling. Among them, Jinzhou and Qianzhou in Chongqing Province and Chenzhou in Jiangling Road are all bordered by Wushan.

And behind this Wushan, that is the Xiangyang territory that is in an independent position after the partition of the two dynasties.

Therefore, after the Southern Tang Dynasty extinguished the Xihu Rebellion, the western battalion of the Qinzhou border military town, which had been resting for less than a month, unexpectedly withdrew its camp, and the troops were stationed in Jinzhou, Qianzhou and Chenzhou in three ways.

No one knows the true thoughts of the Tang King back then, perhaps in order to test the reaction of Xiangyang City, to highlight the national prestige of the four seas after the Southern Tang Dynasty eliminated the Xihu Rebellion, or it may be that he wanted to take the opportunity to pull out the thorn in the eye of Wushan, re-incorporate this transcendent mountain under the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and directly open this opening to the west of Xiangyang.

However, before the Tang King, who lived far away in Jiankang City, gave a clear order, Wushan took the lead and had the most direct response.

On that dark and windy night of that year, the four great sword monarchs on Wushan quietly descended the mountain with hundreds of kendo masters who could not be cultivated in Wushan, sneaked into the military camp in Sanzhou, and took away more than a dozen good heads with lightning speed.

The next day, Jiankang City received an urgent secret report of 800 miles, more than a dozen generals in the camp west of Qinzhou Zhenxi were killed at the same time, the entire military camp in Zhenxi was in chaos, and more than half of the generals with real power in the army died. Of course, for this reason, the hundreds of kendo masters also lost more than 20 people, but they did not leave a single corpse, but the swords of these dead swordsmen were all inserted on the gate of the barracks, neatly and neatly, and the blood stains on the swords were not dry, which was shocking, and it was so shocking that tens of thousands of people in the three major military camps did not dare to act rashly.

After hearing the news, the city of Jiankang was shaken, and the Tang King was even more angry in court, and the ministers of the court and the central government said that these meritorious generals did not die on the battlefield of fighting with the Hu people on the shore of Qinghai Lake, but were secretly killed in their own country's tent.

Therefore, in order to soothe the pillars of the army in these unjustly killed camps, and also to save the face of the Southern Tang Dynasty, this time the Tang King drove the expedition with full of anger, and accompanied him with countless masters of the court, which can be described as huge, and this battle was more grand than the crusade against Xihu half a year ago.

However, when the Southern Tang Emperor rode into Jiangling City, a burst of rain fell on Wushan.

This was in the autumn of that year, and there was already a lot of autumn rain on Wushan, but this autumn rain in Wushan was fluttering and drifting into Jiangling City.

Then, in the famous sword pool on Wushan Mountain, ten thousand remnant swords rose and flew to Gangneung City like a heavenly river across the sky.

It is said that if it weren't for the old Qin Tianjian who accompanied the royal driver to personally recruit and discovered that something was wrong in the sky one night in advance and preached the arrow warning one step earlier, it would have been impossible for dozens of great real people from the two factions of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan who were thousands of miles away to arrive at the critical moment and block this earth-shattering sword rain for the entire Jiangling City.

It is rumored that that that time, even the Great Heavenly Master of the Sect who was sitting in Longhu Mountain personally dispatched, but Rao was like this, he did not leave this sword pool ten thousand swords, and in the end he could only watch, allowing the thousands of sword rain to float back to the top of the Wushan Goddess Peak.

Hundreds of years have passed, and there are not too many rumors left about the aftermath of this matter, only knowing that Wushan is still that Wushan, and the sword pool is still the same sword pool, and in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the position of Qin Tianjian who has never been favored has become a hot position in the government and the opposition.

The river is surging, washing the eternal romance, and today's Wushan Mountain Gorge still stands quietly on both sides of the Yangtze River, not sad or happy, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wang Shen was now standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the deep mountains and gorges on both sides in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

This ship is the merchant ship of the Gan family, starting from Luzhou, all the way to Jiangling Mansion, the ship is loaded with wine and Shu brocade, and Gan Xin and Wang Shen left Luzhou City with this ship five days ago, and finally arrived at the legendary Wushan boundary early this morning.

When the long and straight mountain gorges began to appear on both sides of the Yangtze River, Wang Shen noticed that one or two lonely bamboo rafts would appear on the river from time to time, and there would be a person sitting or standing on these rafts, and there would be only one person on each bamboo raft, and there would be no more.

As for these people, some of them are fishing in the river with fishing rods, some are sitting still or even still, and some are sleeping directly on bamboo rafts, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they carry a sword with them.

"You're up early. ”

A willing voice came from behind Wang Shen, and then she also walked to the bow of the boat and stood side by side with Wang Shen.

"I have long heard that this Wushan is magnificent and colorful, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name. ”

Gan Xin was also attracted by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and gorges on both sides of the Yangtze River, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Wang Shen looked at the gentle and clear river, listened to the birds and apes on both sides of the river, exhaled lightly, and asked, "You are also here for the first time?"

Gan nodded and recalled: "My grandfather's generation, there was an old man who sat on this mountain with a sword, so my father wanted to send me to Wushan to practice, but my mother disagreed, it was too far, and said that dancing with a sword and a sword is not like a woman, so in the end let me worship under the gate of Qingyang Palace." But fortunately, I went to Qingcheng Mountain......"

Wang Shen was curious: "Why?"

Gan glanced at him, and said with a grudge: "If I have studied swordsmanship for so many years, and find that I am not the opponent of someone like you who has only practiced swords for more than half a year, I am afraid that I will be angry to death by myself." ”

Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm just lucky......"

Then, he pointed to a lonely bamboo raft floating on the river and asked, "Are those people also here to participate in the sword meeting?"

"No, they are originally from Wushan, and they just chose to practice here, and at the same time, it is convenient to monitor the passing passengers. ”

Another voice came from behind them, and it was a maidservant girl about thirty years old.

"Sister Ping, it's early. ”

He smiled at the visitor willingly.

This maid is the last time she was willing to send to the inn to monitor Wang Shen, her name is Zhang Ping, she is the subordinate of the commander of the Luzhou Soldiers and Horses Division, Lord Gan, and she has been working for the Gan family very early, so she has known her since she was a child. Almost all of the people on this boat are from the Gan family, and among the masters, in addition to Wang Shen and Zhang Ping, there is also Zhang Ping's husband, named Zhou Wei. As for this Zhou Wei, he doesn't like to talk much, and he is also very low-key, and he hardly talks to anyone after getting on the boat, and even when he sees Gan Xing, he only nods his head. But Wang Shen could see that this week's Wei cultivation was extremely high, and it should be only high and not low compared to himself.
