Chapter 811: Soul Breaker
Wudang handed over the Daomen token to show his submission, but this matter can only be said to be a mixed blessing for Jinyiwei.
First of all, although the Daomen token can nominally command the world's Taoist disciples, in fact, this authority is barely usable in the hands of Wudang, but if it is replaced, I am afraid that it is not much stronger than a piece of paper.
Yiwu was so powerful that it took several generations to operate, and when all the masters of the rivers and lakes of the other factions withered, Qi Yunzi became the first master of the Taoist sect with high morality, and he was barely able to command the Taoist sect below.
Jin Yiwei got this token, it was useless at all, no sect would obey them, even if it was in the power of the imperial court, no Taoist disciple would choose to bow his head.
It's not that they don't know the times, but the power base of these Taoist sects comes from the rivers and lakes, unless they can complete the class jump like the Yuwen family, otherwise once they give up the foundation of their lives, they will immediately become a castle in the air, and they will disappear only in an instant.
Daomen is different from the Yuwen family, if the imperial court is willing to tolerate these Taoist temples, then the Taoist family will not take root in the rivers and lakes.
So this token is in the hands of Jinyiwei, and it can almost be called a useless thing.
But to say that it is really useless, but it is not at all, Wudang Fengshan retreated from Jinyiwei, but did not give the token to the rest of the Daomen factions, but gave it to Jinyiwei.
In this way, because no one was willing to obey Jinyiwei's orders, and at the same time, they couldn't choose a second person who could dominate the world's Daomen, so the disintegration of the entire Daomen was already predictable.
Unlike the Buddhism that came from other countries, the Daomen are ancient sects with local roots, and each of them has different traditions and beliefs, so the alliance between them is very fragile, and the nature of the cultivators is to be free and do not like to be restricted.
The existence of the Daomen Order has made the Taoists have to unite due to the agreement made by the ancestors, once this token loses its original utility, it is conceivable that the Daomen faction that has unlocked the shackles will probably never want to go back to the past.
And this is the true sincerity that Qi Yunzi wants to give to Jinyiwei, and only Wudang, who has lost his identity as the head of the Daoist sect, can really cross out his name from the blacklist of the imperial court.
"Qi Yunzi is in charge, oh, no, the sincerity of Qi Yunzi's head is really felt."
Lu Hanjiang accepted the token, and he promised Shangyangzi: "If Wudang can quietly cultivate on the mountain in the future, even if the incense is prosperous, the official thinks, and the imperial court can tolerate it." ”
Shangyangzi's face was like ashes, his eyes were lifeless, and after he heard it, he just made a mockery to Lu Hanjiang and said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Lu Hanjiang suddenly stopped the other party again: "Shangyangzi Daoist, this official still has a word, please stay." ”
Shangyangzi stopped, turned around, and only listened to Lu Hanjiang and said: "This official intends to write to Your Majesty, and chase the head of Qi Yunzi who went first in the name of Taoist Daxian, I don't know what to do with Changyi?" ”
It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to be rewarded by the imperial court, but these rewarded characters are all completely turned to the imperial court.
Lu Hanjiang's words were temporary, he wanted to see Shangyangzi's attitude, but unfortunately, although the other party's heart was dead, he was still unwilling to bring the Wudang faction on this road.
"Thank you for your kindness, my senior brother is just a mountain and a wild villager, and Wudang is even more of a small sect, I'm afraid I don't deserve such an honor." Regarding the olive branch thrown by Lu Hanjiang, Shangyangzi chose to refuse.
"It's a pity."
Lu Hanjiang shook his head and sighed: "Since this is the case, it is not difficult for the official to be strong, but the identity of the official is a secret of the imperial court, so the official wants to ask Shangyangzi for a small favor, don't leak the identity of the official." ”
Shangyangzi glanced at Lu Hanjiang deeply, and then said indifferently: "Don't worry, my lord, this secret, Poor Dao will definitely keep his mouth shut." ”
"I'm tired of it."
Lu Hanjiang stood with a smile, and after sending Shangyangzi away, he gave Yan Feng beside him a look, and the latter understood, hung far behind the other party, and followed back to Wudang Mountain.
If Shangyangzi can comprehend Qi Yunzi's painstaking efforts, he should also understand the meaning of Lu Hanjiang's words, above the rivers and lakes, whether it is a sect or an individual, all they rely on is nothing more than power and martial arts.
The two are almost inseparable from each other, and now Wudang has cut off his arms and handed over the Daomen order to close the mountain and defend himself, and what is left to make the court and Jinyiwei uneasy is martial arts.
And the entire Wudang faction from top to bottom, except for the head Qi Yunzi, this Shangyangzi is the most troublesome.
His swordsmanship is superb, and his internal cultivation is even the top in the world, and Lord Meng, who faked his death, does not count, unless Lu Hanjiang personally takes action, it will be difficult for Jinyi Wei to find a second character who can firmly control the other party.
And this point is naturally very taboo for Jinyiwei, there is such a master in Wudang, how can he make Jinyiwei feel at ease and let the court feel at ease.
After Yan Feng followed Shangyangzi back to Wudang Mountain, the huge Wudang Sect was empty and lifeless, and this Great Elder had already collected the bones of Qi Yunzi and the corpses of the disciples of the Sect who died in battle.
Half a day later, Shangyangzi went down the mountain once, sent the letter, and recalled the Wudang disciples who went out, and he himself returned to Wudang as soon as the letter was sent.
Kamiyoko came to the platform and sat on the stone bench, looking down at the endgame, and after a long time, he picked up a sunspot and filled it into the air eye of the dead game.
Beat the air.
Kamiyoko stared at the chess game for a long time, he waited from noon until nightfall, and there was no second guest on the Taodo.
He got up and looked at the tumbling sea of clouds, and after a long sigh, he went down the mountain peak and returned to the Zixiao Palace, Yan Feng, a thousand households in brocade clothes, leaned on the door frame and folded his hands, the two seemed to be unable to see each other, and they didn't say anything when they met each other.
Yan Feng watched coldly as Shangyangzi entered the Zixiao Hall, and pulled out the Heavenly Fierce Sword that was inserted into the ground, and the miserable white sword body was slowly dyed with a touch of bright red, and the heart-wrenching roar resounded throughout the hall.
Shangyangzi stroked the sword body, his eyes were as calm as water, he looked up at the broken statue of the True Martial Emperor on the half of his body, turned his hand and put the heavenly fierce across his neck, the sword blade moved slightly, and a bloody light flashed from his neck.
Tick.
Blood slid down the blade of the sword, Shang Yangzi closed his eyes, his body was like a strong pine, standing tall, only the scarlet continued to flow, slowly taking away the last consciousness of this old Taoist.
After a long time, Yan Feng stepped into the main hall, stretched out his hand to probe the tip of Shangyangzi's nose, and only after confirming that he was silent was no longer silent, he turned around and left.
Walking outside the main hall, Yan Feng turned around and looked at Shang Yangzi, who was still dead, his eyes moved slightly, he raised his hand slightly, and after holding his fist towards the corpse, he strode away.
The next day, with Shangyangzi's letter urgently summoning his disciples back to the mountain, another news came out that shocked the rivers and lakes.
It is rumored that the Xuantian Sect Master reappeared in the rivers and lakes, the Wudang Mountain Gate was destroyed, the head of the sect Qi Yunzi, and the Great Elder Shangyangzi all died.
