Elder Huang continued, "This thing is the treasure of the Stick Shock Gang, the 'Dog Fighting Stick', and it is also a thing that is the host of the Stick Gang. It is now handed over to Elder Zhong Xianli Zhong, the law enforcement elder of this stick, for safekeeping, and when the Wang gang leader gets revenge and elects a new gang leader, it will be handed over to the new gang leader...... Elder Chung is responsible for the implementation of the family law of the club, representing the gang and the gang leader to eliminate those who have harmful consequences to the gang. Such as mutineers, responders, and undercover agents sent by the other party. It would be fitting for him to keep the 'dog beating stick'. ”

Elder Zhong took a few steps forward, took the dog-beating stick and raised it high, and all the disciples raised the bamboo stick in their hands. Even Pan Shizhi's bare hands raised his right hand into a fist.

Then Elder Zhong immediately wrapped the dog-beating stick with the red cloth just now. The people, led by the four elders, continued to worship the king's helper.

This is the meeting of major internal affairs in the beggar gang, and Zeng Xuanjun is naturally an important moment to participate in this kind of gate faction for the first time. Although it is a sacrifice and cremation meeting of the king's gang leader, the scene is also very spectacular.

…………

At night, many disciples were still guarding in front of the spirit of the Wang Gang, and the beggar gang could not stop there. Tomorrow, the mourning hall will be slowly demolished, and the beggars will also fulfill the two major purposes of the meeting. Pan Shizhi has regained his strength, and the best consolation for his father-in-law is to find the murderer to avenge this. He went to the tavern, and on the last night he took the time to come here for a few drinks. Zeng Xuanjun also followed him and followed him to the tavern. The two of them made a final decision while drinking slowly.

Since the father-in-law was suspicious of these sects before his death, who else can check if he doesn't check it? If the Wudang faction is the most suspicious, then why not go to Wudang to find out. But surrounded by beggar disciples, this group of people did not dare to challenge the martial arts masters, since this was the case, they had to go privately. If it is found to be indeed related to Wudang, even if you die, you will have to take revenge on Wudang.

Zeng Xuanjun naturally knew that he was going to embark on the road of revenge alone, and he already felt guilty about this matter, and he was determined to help Brother Pan. Zeng Xuanjun resolutely decided to set off with Pan Shizhi. Pan Shizhi was both moved and indignant.

Zeng Xuanjun asked, "Dare to ask Brother Pan, where are you going to go at your first stop?" ”

Pan Shizhi whispered to Zeng Xuanjun drunkenly, "Wudang ......"

"Wudang?" I remember that when I was in Xizhao Prison, the old man named Zhang was sloppy, and when he left, he told him that he had a chance to go to Wudang. Unexpectedly, Brother Pan was going to Wudang at this time, and he promised Brother Pan again, it seems that this Wudang is still decided.

"What? Are you inconvenient? ”

Zeng Xuanjun immediately said, "No, Brother Pan." I originally planned to go to Wudang as the first stop after returning to Shu. ”

Pan Shizhi was still sensible and asked, "Oh? Brother Zeng, you also had a holiday with Wudang? ”

Zeng Xuanjun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I was just entrusted by someone to go to Wudang." However, I didn't make it clear what I was doing in Wudang, so I had to go first. ”

Pan Shizhi hooked Zeng Xuanjun's neck and said, "Good brother." I really need someone to help me when I go to Wudang this time, but after thinking about it this time, I still can't use the power of the beggar gang, especially after entering the interior of Wudang Mountain. ”

Zeng Xuanjun was dragged by his neck with his hand, nodded fiercely, and said, "Brother Pan is thoughtful, and he doesn't forget to take into account the dislike between the beggar gang and the Wudang faction at this time. ”

Pan Shizhi finally said, "The matter of the father-in-law is over, and our two brothers will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm."

Change the route temporarily, go early and go late, after all, you have to go to Wudang, since you have made up your mind, let's go, Brother Pan is naturally uncomfortable these days. Zeng Xuanjun can only accompany this eldest brother these days and do what he can as much as he can. Seeing that it was a friend brought back by Pan Shizhi, the disciples of the beggar gang naturally didn't have too much embarrassment, as long as it didn't involve special places and things, they also let him help him everywhere.

Finally, it's time to leave. The two waited for the sun to rise, open the city gates, and become a group of people who went out of the city. They rode their horses all the way to the top of the mountain in the suburbs, and looked back at the huge Luoyang City in the distance. Thinking back a few days ago, Pan Shizhi was still a righteous teenager, and he didn't want to change dramatically in just a few days. The departure of the loved ones around him will make great changes in people, Pan Shizhi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and then slapped his face a few times with both hands.

Zeng Xuanjun was just watching from the side, and he didn't say anything to dissuade him. Pan Shizhi's face had been slapped red by himself, revealing a long-lost look full of vitality, and said loudly, "Brother, let's go." ”

The two rode horses and quickly ran towards Wudang Mountain, Huguang Xiangyang Mansion (Note 1).

Fortunately, the woman surnamed Emei Jian has also rested enough in the past few days and made full preparations. He followed them from afar on a white horse.

Wudang Mountain is a sacred place of Taoism and a place where the Wudang sect is located. In ancient times, it was called "Taiyue", "Xuanyue", "Dayue", and Wudang Mountain of this dynasty was named "Dayue" and "Xuanyue of the world" by the emperor, and was respected as "the royal family temple".

Wudang Mountain was a Taoist holy land a long time ago, and the Taoist temple of Wudang Mountain was dilapidated after the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang took the world from the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia was originally a nomadic people on the steppe, they believed in the gods and the Central Plains are different, in Mongolian mythology there is a god called "Da Heitian", he is the northern protector god in Mongolian mythology. In Chinese mythology, there is also an important northern protector god "Zhenwu Emperor", which everyone must know "left green dragon right white tiger, south Vermilion Bird and north Xuanwu", this Xuanwu is Zhenwu Emperor, so the Yuan Dynasty wanted to replace "Zhenwu Emperor" with "Daheitian", which also belongs to a kind of cultural invasion, when the ruler also had a "Xuanwu Emperor" in front of the "Daheitian" and fled the story.

Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, in order to prove that he obeyed the mandate of heaven, he was sent by the people of the mandate of heaven to drive away the Yuan Dynasty, and most of the border troubles of the Central Plains Dynasty came from the north, so naturally they had to be crushed in mythology. Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like Buddhism or Confucianism, there are no gods, he prefers Taoism, he admires Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, but the number of meetings is only a handful, he once said to Wudang Taoist Zhang Sanfeng's first disciple Li Xuanzong: "I am Xuanyuan, and I am Guangchengzi." "So in such a situation, it is natural to improve the status of the Xuanwu Emperor.

Later, the Yongle Emperor built a large-scale Taoist temple and beautiful buildings in Wudang Mountain. Emperor Zhu Di always felt that he was not in the right position, after all, he was the throne of his nephew, and many people did not accept him, so Zhu Di tried his best to make himself more justified, and there were many things he did that he would not talk about one by one, one of which was to use the gods, which was also a very common means used by ancient rulers, and dreamed of the child born by the dragon, etc., all to prove that he was destined for heaven, so Zhu Di wanted to use the northern protector God Zhenwu Emperor to prove his legitimacy.

The former emperor Zhu Di ordered Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, and Mu Xin, the commander of the horses, to lead the world with hundreds of millions of money and grain, more than 200,000 official and military craftsmen, 36 palaces and temples, more than 1,800 palaces and houses, and 12 years to complete, stretching for more than 140 miles, as if Qin Afang Palace.

Since Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, all emperors who succeeded to the throne had to send Qin to Wudang Mountain to make sacrifices.

Emperor Zhu Di started from the north to conquer the world, starting from the north and the roots were also in the north, and later he also moved the capital from Nanjing to Beiping.
