Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Hundred Losses of the Daoist (II)
After talking about this, Wu Qingying said: "Forget it, my mouth is dry when I tell you about these things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, I also listened to stories when I was a child, and I don't know the details very completely." Why don't you see for yourself? ”
Saying that, Wu Qingying stood up, she walked to the bookshelf, and after rummaging for a while, she took out a somewhat worn book from it, and then handed it to Zhang Wuji.
After Zhang Wuji took it, the cover on it read "Revision Log".
Xiuwen, Zhang Wuji knew that it was Xiao Wu's name, and this log should be the meaning of the diary.
But Zhang Wuji still wants to complain, who writes a diary for serious people. But I still can't resist my curiosity and plans to take a look.
But I was about to open it to take a look, but the thought of peeking at someone else's diary didn't seem very ethical.
So Zhang Wuji said to Wu Qingying: "Sister Qingying, this is the log left by your ancestors, and I don't seem to be very good as an outsider." ”
Wu Qingying said with a smile at this time: "It's not you who watch it alone, I want to watch it with you!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wuji smiled, and then no longer shirked, and the two sat down together and began to flip through the log.
This diary is actually a memoir written by Wu Xiuwen in his later years, the first half is mostly about him and Guo Jing's family, as well as Yang Guo, Wan Yanping and others.
He started directly from the place where Wu Qingying had not finished speaking.
After Li Qingwei rescued Wu Xiuwen, he took off his Taoist robe and covered Wu Xiuwen's family to leave as the prince of Wanhu.
And Yeluqi's body was also properly buried under Li Qingwei's arrangement.
Wu Xiuwen learned from him that Guo Jing and the others were buried by the Mongols, and he was relieved.
Moreover, in Wu Xiuwen's diary, the identity of this Li Qingwei is described in detail, which is exactly what Wu Qingying said.
Then Zhang Wuji looked at the things behind.
Although Wu Xiuwen's family escaped from the encirclement of Xiangyang with the help of Li Qingwei.
But Wu Xiuwen was Guo Jing's second disciple and a felony wanted by the Mongolian court. Kublai Khan issued a document on sea fishing and went around arresting Wu Xiuwen.
And Wu Xiuwen's family fled to the old land of Dali, and still did not escape from the pursuit of the Mongolian court.
In the end, after several rounds, he fled with the Zhu family to the Kunlun Mountains.
It was this cave that allowed them to escape the pursuit of those tantric masters under the command of the Mongols.
The Mongol masters traced it a few times and then gave up without a trace.
A few years later, Wu Xiuwen and the ancestors of the Zhu family built a chain of manors here, and settled here ever since.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but nodded.
He then flipped a few more pages backwards, and he confirmed his suspicions.
That is this Quanzhen lay disciple named Li Qingwei, who is the "Hundred Losses Daoist" who made Zhang Sanfeng frown.
In fact, "Hundred Losses" is not his Tao name, but just a contemptuous name for him by the people in the rivers and lakes.
Although the Quanzhen Sect fought against Mongolia in the era of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, the ancestors of the older generation died one after another, and the new generation of disciples had to accept the reality of changing the dynasty.
Under the auspices of Hao Datong, the last Quanzhen Seventh Son, the Quanzhen Sect began to be broken into pieces, and the Taoists left Chongyang Palace one after another to avoid trouble. From then on, everyone set up their own doors to preach, in order to make a comeback.
Since then, Quanzhen Dao has also been divided into Longmen, Huashan and other school branches. Moreover, after some disciples set up their own doors, they no longer regarded themselves as Taoist priests, but returned to the vulgar, such as the Huashan School. But there are also those who still regard themselves as Taoist priests, such as the Longmen faction.
And Li Qingwei also returned to his home in Luoyang and became his little marquis.
But despite leaving the Quanzhen Sect, he still regarded himself as a Taoist monk, and except for necessary occasions, he wore gorgeous clothes embroidered with gossip on weekdays.
Because he was a noble Mongolian Han and had high skills, he was favored by the Mongolian court and recruited him to serve Mongolia. In order to protect his parents, wife and children, he could only be forced to work as an errand in the Mongolian court.
And because he wanted to inherit his father's official title, after the death of his brother, he married his Mongolian noble sister-in-law according to the old Mongolian practice, accepted the wife and concubine left by his brother, and completed the political marriage arranged by the Mongolian court.
and also has a daughter with her brother's concubine.
The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies. It is normal for the successor to take in the women of the father and brother in the Mongolian culture.
The Mongols made the Han nobles behave in the same way, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "shaving their hair and making it easy to wear", which was used to test whether the Han people accepted their culture and their loyalty. If you don't comply, you may be killed.
But in the consciousness of the Han people, this bullying of the mother and adulterous sister-in-law is a great rebellion.
Therefore, Li Qingwei is despised by the people of the world. was also given a contemptuous name of "100 losses" by fellow martial artists on the rivers and lakes.
The full name of 100 losses is "100 no taboos, harming others and benefiting oneself". It's not just "all kinds of damage".
Although no taboo is a good word in other places, it is not taboo for everyone to sarcastically marry his sister-in-law here.
As for harming others and benefiting himself, not to mention, although he is a Han Chinese, he has also made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and even his flat wife is the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, but these things naturally cannot be made public due to his identity. In the eyes of the world, he is a traitor.
And this kind of own people hidden in the darkness is not understandable by everyone after all.
Wu Xiuwen once asked Li Qingwei for help in order to fulfill his master's last wish.
I want to ask him to find the dragon slaying knife, and then hold high the banner of righteousness, become the leader of the world, and lead the Han people to expel the Tartars and recreate the artifact.
After all, he is a descendant of Li Tang, and his wife Zhao Ke is the princess of the Great Song Dynasty. And the Li family is a hereditary noble, with military power in hand. In Wu Xiuwen's eyes, he is the most suitable person to be a leader.
However, at that time, the world had already decided, and the Central Plains had been in ruins for nearly 50 years from the end of the Jin Dynasty to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Han people could not withstand another upheaval, and it would take several generations of taoguang to recover.
And at that time, the Mongol Empire swept the world and reached its heyday, and it had not yet decayed, and there was no possibility of shaking, so Li Qingwei knew the reason, and after moving with emotion, he rejected Wu Xiuwen's proposal, and persuaded him to give up this impossible thing.
Of course, as the vested interests of the empire, the Han nobles of the Mongol court. His words were not convincing in Wu Xiuwen's heart.
But out of the grace of saving his life, Wu Xiuwen had no choice but to give up.
However, the Hundred Losses Daoist did not lie and prevaricate Wu Xiuwen.
His descendant, Li Siqi, the marquis of the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Qi, the adopted son of Li Siqi, after the Song Dynasty clan, and the father and son surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang to create conditions for Xu Da to defeat Wang Baobao. It made a great contribution to the complete expulsion of the Mongols and the consolidation of the northwest, but this is all for later.
After seeing the Hundred Losses Daoist, Wu Xiuwen began to gradually give up the unrealistic fantasy of recovering the rivers and mountains, so he began to recover the dragon slaying knife, and then prepared to comprehend the secrets in it, creating conditions for future generations to recover the Central Plains.
But it's a pity that the dragon slaying knife has been wandering around the rivers and lakes since the loss of Xiangyang, and Wu Xiuwen has never been able to find it all his life, and finally died of depression.
After reading this journal, Zhang Wuji sighed at the changes in the world.
But he also discovered one thing.
In the past, when he was reading books, he always subconsciously thought that the second elder Xuan Ming was a disciple of the Hundred Losses Daoist.
And from the title of Baiyi and the evil deeds of the martial arts heir, he always thought that the Baiyi Daoist was a supervillain who did not appear.
But I didn't expect that the life of the Hundred Losses Daoist told in Wu Xiuwen's notes was not a hero, although it was not a bright one.
After all, not everyone has the mind of a chivalrous man like Guo Jing, and the ambition to die after doing his best.
This Mongolian nobleman with a vested interest in the Daoist has done everything he can. This is no easy task.
The positions of the camps are different, but he eats Mongolia and finances the enemy, and he is not a loyal and righteous man. But he is still a hero in Cao Ying's heart and in Han.
And according to Wu Xiuwen's notebook, this Hundred Losses Daoist was already a middle-aged man over forty years old when he fought in the final battle in Xiangyang. In this way, it seems that he is of the same generation as Yang Guo and others, and he is much older than his master Zhang Sanfeng.
And Zhang Wuji clearly remembered that he was held hostage ten years ago, and he was about fifty years old. And at that time, it had been more than thirty years since the death of the Hundred Loss Daoist.
As mentioned in this log, the Hundred Losses Daoist is a few years older than Yang Guo. At the time of Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday banquet, if he was still alive, he would be at least 120 years old.
Judging from this age gap, there are still Hundred Loss Dao people who are unknown in the rivers and lakes, and Song Yuanqiao and others do not know this, this master should not be very active in the rivers and lakes in his later years.
Therefore, this second elder of Xuan Ming should be the martial arts successor of the Hundred Losses Daoist a few generations later, not his personal disciple.
Although Zhang Wuji had doubts in his heart, this doubt was not difficult to answer, as long as he captured the two elders of Xuan Ming in the future and asked them in person. If you don't say it, then beat him until he is willing to say it.
