Although Zong Yun has the posture of a noble son of the Daomen, he has never been an indifferent person, since he entered the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, he has been burdened with the blood feud of his master, and his style of acting was once deep and even dark, and he can even do anything for revenge.

Even after meeting Yang Jing, his personality has not changed much, but the Tai Chi that Yang Jing taught him has allowed him to continuously improve his realm in his continuous cultivation.

Master's grievances back then were also obtained with the help of Yang Jing, and Zhaoxue, Qin Xuance and Huang Yunzhen were also punished, and he and Dong Shangzhi also repaired their relationship, and now they can be regarded as the same spirit.

In the process, his realm finally stepped into the Martial Arts Grandmaster, and he should have been satisfied.

People say that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and how to define the so-called martial arts master is really not an easy thing.

How can a person who is a master of martial arts and has few opponents, but who is not right-minded, acts evilly, and harms the good?

Although some people can be called good people in the tenth generation, they are chivalrous and righteous everywhere, but they can embroider their legs with fists, and the people who can help them are limited after all, so naturally they can't be called grandmasters.

From this point of view, a martial arts master must have at least two conditions, one is good, and the other is strong, which is the so-called virtue and art.

Zong Yun was obsessed with revenge, but after Qin Xuance and Huang Yunzhen were punished, he finally put his mind at ease and followed Yang Jing to do something beneficial to the people, and the results were still very significant.

After Yang Jing's Taijiquan, his martial arts were already unfathomable, and he beat all his opponents, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a martial arts master.

Once upon a time, becoming a martial arts master was Zong Yun's biggest dream besides revenge, because he took revenge and ended a matter on his mind, but there was another mission, that is, for Master Wang Daoming, to carry forward the Nanwu faction!

If you want to do this, becoming a martial arts master is just the beginning, and in the future, you will have to start a sect, and you will inherit and continue to carry forward the master's philosophy.

When he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, he thought it was time to start a sect, and he also tried with Yang Jing to establish the Pisces Mountain Sect in Xianyun Mountain, although the entire sect has only been him and Yang Jing until now, but after all, it is already a good start.

But when he practiced Tai Chi more and more profoundly, he saw a whole new world and touched a higher realm!

That's the saint!

In the history of human beings, those who can be called saints can be counted in a single slap.

In later generations, there was a saying that Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu were the four sages, namely Confucius, Mencius, Zhu Zi (that is, Zhu Xi), and Wang Yangming, the founder of the Ming Dynasty's psychology.

Confucius and Mencius needless to say, for thousands of years are the saints worshiped by scholars, their benevolence and righteousness have made great contributions to the unity of the country, the stability of the people and the harmonious development of society, it can be said that the entire ancient feudal society, is established on the framework and cornerstone of the way of Confucius and Mencius, even in later generations, the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius, still influence countless people.

Although Zhu Xi, who advocated science, was not as famous as Confucius and Mencius, but he also vigorously developed Confucianism, although in the period of Emperor Zhao Yun, Zhu Xi's theories and ideas began to be valued by the imperial court, but he influenced the subsequent dynasties of the Song Dynasty.

In the past, the imperial examination of Confucius and Mencius, Zhao Pu, the veteran assistant minister of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, did not read much, but he also said half of the words of governing the world.

After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination still tested the way of Confucius and Mencius, but the scholars studied hard since childhood, and the textbooks used were Zhu Xi's collection of annotations to the classics of Confucius and Mencius, that is to say, the future readers, or those scholars who participated in the imperial examination, the books they read since childhood are Zhu Xi's annotations to the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Some people also say that Wang Yangming can only be regarded as half a saint, because the influence of Xinxue is not as great as that of Confucius and Mencius, but the Xinxue that integrates knowledge and action can actually promote the progress of society more, because Xinxue advocates the release of thoughts!

However, for the Chinese people who have followed the rules for thousands of years, the study of mind deviates somewhat from the ethical norms of the way of Confucius and Mencius, or it is not the same as the way of Confucius and Mencius, so not everyone can accept it, but it is greatly worshiped in a certain island country and even other countries in the world.

Without further ado, I just said that Zong Yun had indeed surpassed the Martial Arts Grandmaster and saw his higher goal!

The reason why the saints, or the sages of the hundred schools of thought in ancient times, can be remembered by the world for thousands of years is because their thoughts have changed the way of the world, or in other words, their thoughts have maintained the way of the world, and they can continue to continue, or even continue in a better direction.

If Zong Yun wants to become a saint, he can write books and put forward his own thoughts, but he obviously has no talent in this area, he is not a scholar after all.

Since this is the case, does it mean that Zong Yun will not be able to achieve the realm of a saint?

No.

In addition to these saints, there are also some saints who did not write books and lectures, nor did they change the world with their own thoughts, or they did not have a clear ideological doctrine.

But they used their actions to make the world remember for eternity!

For example, Guan Yu, such as Yue Fei!

These people are not scholars, but their loyalty, their martial arts, and their legendary stories have made the world unforgettable, and even built a temple for them and named them saints in the world!

Zong Yun can't follow the path of Confucius and Meng, but he can follow the path of Guan Yu and Yue Fei!

Of course, the Wang Yangming mentioned earlier is one of the outliers, he not only put forward the study of the mind, but also can be called invincible in a hundred battles in terms of military exploits!

Zong Yun saw his new goal and found his own new path, the pursuit of martial artists is endless, so that he can become stronger and stronger, if he is complacent and arrogant, complacent, and stagnant, he will be defeated sooner or later!

Zong Yun is not Yang Jing, he can't integrate into the officialdom system of the court like Yang Jing, because he is a person who loves freedom all his life.

So he wants to use his own way to make the people remember him forever!

Qiu Chuji really saved the country for the sake of his people, and exhorted Genghis Khan to kill less, saving many lives.

But objectively speaking, he accepted the canonization of the Mongols, and the Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect prayed for the blessing of the Mongol emperor, while the Mongols, who received the blessing of the Quanzhen Sect, wanted to trample on and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, it is a little unpleasant.

So Zong Yun wanted to do something that Yang Jing had always wanted to do, but couldn't do.

He knew that Yang Jing was not loyal to the corrupt Southern Song Dynasty court, and Yang Jing was not an eagle dog lackey of the court, Yang Jing was just loyal to the people, just wanted to seek well-being for the people, did not want to see the lives of the people, and wanted the people of the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to be stable and prosperous!

But Yang Jing has entered the officialdom system, and he has reached a certain height, and he can no longer withdraw from it.

Therefore, Zong Yun wants to help Yang Jing, he is not loyal to the imperial court, he does not need to obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and he will not be constrained and obstructed by the imperial court, he wants to establish his own power, use his own strength, to resist the Mongols, to block the iron hooves and bows and knives in the north for the people!

This is just like the earlier Red Jacket Army, although it is a loyal army, but when necessary, the court will treat you as a thief, and will edict you to peace, if you do not submit to the court, you can only wait for the court to crusade and exterminate!

The Red Jacket Army had an extremely good reputation among the people in the early days, and these rebels represented the interests of the grassroots people.

But in the end, like other tyrants, they deviated from their original intentions and only pursued power and wealth, and the people were just their front and fig leaf.

When they swayed between the Mongols and the Southern Song court, as if they had rebelled, they were no longer the original Red Jacket Army, but just a party in pursuit of hegemony, nothing more.

Zong Yun wants to establish his own power, but he will never follow in the footsteps of the Red Jacket Army!

It is precisely for this reason that he attaches great importance to talents along the way, not only gathering talents for his own forces, but also recruiting talents, and not letting go of any possibility.

Dong Shangzhi and Bai Yuchan had already been clear about his intentions, so they didn't dissuade Zong Yun, because Zong Yun was walking on a path they couldn't even think of, and Zong Yun was pursuing a saint realm that even they didn't dare to pursue!

Immortals, gods, belong to myths and legends, it is unattainable, but saints are different, saints have achievements beyond mortals, but he is a mortal after all, that is the god who really walks in the world!

Bai Yu Toad is known as a living immortal, and many people want to find him, but if he can choose, he doesn't want to be such a legend.

When he was young, he had done a lot of things and worked very hard in all aspects, because he was also like Zong Yun, hoping to become a saint and let the people remember it for eternity.

It's a pity that he couldn't be reused in the end, so he could only hide in the mountains and forests, and achieved the name of a living immortal.

Now that Zong Yun is more energetic, more capable, and more likely to achieve the wish that he failed to achieve at the beginning, how could Bai Yuchan oppose Zong Yun?

Not only did he not object, but he also helped Zong Yun, and even persuaded Dong Shangzhi to let Dong Shangzhi fully support Zong Yun together!

Since the destruction of Buddhism by Zhou Shizong after the fight, Taoism has gained an extremely large space for development in the Song Dynasty, because Taoists do not need to pay taxes, and the number of Taoists has reached a very terrifying number.

The Mongols are a people on the steppe, and their harsh living environment and backward productive forces make them very superstitious, so they also believe in and worship Buddhism, Taoism and even Western sects.

In this way, the number of Taoists in the north is also very large, after the debate on Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism was banned, and Taoists were expelled, and the number of Taoists was naturally quite terrifying.

Along the way, more and more Taoists joined their team and followed them back to the south for refuge.

Although he did not refuse to come to these Daoists, Zong Yun's selection criteria were very strict, even strict, and only those who had martial arts or had some kind of specialty and a skill could enter his core.

Whether these people choose to return to the Southern Song Dynasty or continue to stay in the north, they are all Zong Yun's veteran team, and they are gathered by Zong Yun in order to practice his ideals, to step into that higher realm, and to pave that road!

Now, Zong Yun has taken a fancy to those slaves outside Caizhou City, not because of how pitiful those slaves are.

On the contrary, these slaves are not pitiful, they are terrible!

Because they were the group of people who were unwilling to surrender to the Mongols after the Mongols attacked Caizhou, even after so many years, they would rather be slaves than traitors!

It became a concentration camp for these bloody men, and in the course of the Mongols' expeditions, they would kill anyone who resisted and those who did not want to surrender.

But there are some who are unwilling to surrender, but cannot be killed, or are reluctant to kill because they have special abilities, so they will be thrown into this slave camp.

After so many years, this slave camp is also the survival of the fittest, and the big waves are like sands, and those who can survive to this day are all the strongest among the strong!

What Zong Yun wants, this is the kind of person!
