Chapter 60: The Past

At that moment, Mu Sheng and Huang Renpu talked carefully: "Brother Huang, why do you have to worship the Jade True Sect?" I heard that the Zhengyi Sect of Wuyi Mountain in Xue County is also a prestigious monk sect, and it is also close to your home......"

Huang Renpu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Mu doesn't know, this is a very strict sect to accept disciples, such as us Jianghu people, they can't look down on it, now I heard that the new head of the Tiancang Mountain Jade True Sect, Xuan Qing Zhenren, opened the way of virtue, and recruited the world's heroes to accept foreign disciples, so I waited here to try my luck......

"Oh! I see......"

During the banquet, Mu Sheng and Huang Renpu had a very happy conversation, and Huang Renpu was obviously drunk when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and said with a big tongue: "Senior brother, it's a pity!" Pity! It's a pity that the Qingli Mountain Yunhua Sect pressed the wrong treasure, and after the Great Jin Dynasty unified the world, it was uprooted by the imperial court. ”

"Although the Yuzhen Sect is also a great sect of monks, but in terms of heritage, inheritance, and Yunhua Sect during its heyday is still slightly inferior, if Yunhua Sect is still there, I will go to Yunhua Sect, even if I am a lifelong outer disciple in Yunhua Sect, I am willing...... To be honest, I think that after Yunhuazong was wiped out by the imperial court, Yuzhenzong was the biggest winner, and without Yunhuazong, Yuzhenzong could really be regarded as the first sect in the world. ”

Hearing this, Mu Sheng subconsciously looked up at the room upstairs, fortunately he sent Hua Zilan upstairs early, otherwise this benevolent brother said this, he didn't know if it would cause a stir in Hua Zilan's heart, she was born in Yunhua Sect, and it was difficult to completely wipe out the mark on her body, and the key words about her could not be mentioned, and mentioning it would inevitably awaken in the depths of her soul.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Sheng and Huang Renpu went back to the house after chatting, and when he returned to the house, he called the shopkeeper to bring a screen, prepared two buckets of water, and began to bathe and change clothes.

Hua Zilan was washing on the other side of the screen, and Hua Zilan called: "Master, can you let Feng Jiu wait for you to bathe and change your clothes?" ”

Mu Sheng sat in the bathtub and took a hot bath with his eyes closed, and he replied casually, "Feng Jiu, you are no longer a child, there is a difference between men and women, although I am your benefactor, but it doesn't have to be like this, you just take care of yourself." ”

"Yes, the master taught the slave family to keep it in mind......"

Hearing Hua Zilan's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart, it seems that the brainwashing technique during this period of time is still quite effective.

Mu Sheng remembered his conversation with Huang Renpu during the day, and probably summed up a few main points, the head of the Yuzhen Sect has changed, who is this Xuanqing Zhenren? Mu Sheng didn't know very well, even he himself was coming to the mountain gate for the first time, and now the Yuzhen Sect began to recruit disciples from the outer sect after the new head of the sect took over, which was the usual practice of the Yuzhen Sect.

Many of these outer disciples are martial arts kung fu masters who have the potential to practice, and the main task of recruiting them is to do chores, of course, the sect will also tilt a little bit of resources to the outer disciples who perform well, after all, there are a few good seedlings in this group of people, of course, the main training objects of the sect are still the inner disciples and personal disciples.

Don't look at the Jade True Sect is a big sect with thousands of people, but the core inner disciples who have stepped into the threshold of cultivation are only more than a hundred people, and the personal disciples are Mu Sheng and Senior Brother Li Chen, and there is another senior brother he has not seen yet, there are only three in total, which shows the high threshold of cultivation.

In fact, there are not many monk sects like the Yuzhen Sect that recruit disciples from the outer sect on a large scale, after all, if people are recruited, they have to be supported by three meals a day, and the general sect cannot afford such an economic price, as is the case with the Zhengyi Sect mentioned at the beginning.

The Yuzhen Sect is still a monk sect that attaches more importance to the outer disciples, different from other sects, the ancestor of the Yuzhen Sect is actually a powerful person who entered the Tao with martial arts kung fu, so since then a set of traditions has been formed, recruiting many martial arts kung fu masters to be outer disciples, if this group of people is hopeless, going out to open a sect in the society is also a kind of extension of the Yuzhen Sect's sphere of influence.

The next morning, after breakfast, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan got up and went to the stable to pull out the horses and prepare to go on the road.

When Huang Renpu saw the two of them going out, he immediately came to greet him, "Senior brother is early, senior sister is early." ”

Mu Sheng smiled and bowed slightly, "It seems that Brother Huang is going to go with us today?" ”

Huang Renpu was overjoyed and said, "Thanks to my senior brother, Huang can't ask for it." ”

In fact, Huang Renpu's mind also understands that if the outer disciples do not have any adventures, it is difficult to embark on this path of cultivation, if they can make friends with the inner disciples, they can also stand tall in front of the outer disciples, and there is a backer on it.

Mu Sheng was supposed to pay for the store when he got up in the morning, but someone had already checked out first, and he also guessed that it was this Huang brother, so he invited him to go with him, and this favor was inherited.

Along the way, the three of them chatted, not mentioning that they were in a hurry, and after a few days of travel, the three of them finally came to the vicinity of Tiancang Mountain.

At the foot of Tiancang Mountain, a large area of lush farmland is lush, even the fields are strange, and there are farmers in the fields who are fiddling with crops in the fields.

Mu Sheng took out the map left by his senior brother Li Chen and checked the route, well, the route is right.

Huang Renpu looked at the surrounding fertile fields and sighed: "Yuzhen Sect is worthy of being the first sect in the world, this ten thousand hectares of fertile land, rich in products, ordinary great families can't compare with it." ”

Mu Sheng was a little surprised and said, "Brother Huang, are you saying that the good fields in front of you are all owned by the Jade True Sect?" ”

Huang Renpu nodded, and began to give him the matter of the Jade True Sect, in the previous conversation, he also knew that Mu Sheng was also the first time to come to the sect, although it sounded a little incredible......

Huang Renpu said eloquently: "Senior Brother Mu, the reason why this Jade True Sect has this situation is inseparable from the former head of Xuanjing Zhenren Zhang Xian......

It seems that Huang Renpu has done his homework and asked a chivalrous man to introduce Mu Sheng to the matter of the Jade True Sect, and Mu Sheng is somewhat embarrassed as a disciple of the genuine Jade True Sect.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it......"

"Senior Brother Mu is like this, Xuanjing Zhenren was actually the left general of the Jin State before he became the head of the teaching, and was canonized as a liehou by the imperial court, although he was a Song person, Zhang Xian has always served the Jin State, and was reused by the Jin Emperor in his early years, and followed the Second Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty to participate in the Battle of the Central Plains, and his military achievements were outstanding."

"Later, it is now the third emperor ascended the throne, although Zhang Xian retired, but his disciples are also serving for the Jin State, and have contributed a lot in the war of annihilation, and now the Jin people dominate the world, and now His Majesty is grateful for his merits, and has given Yuzhenzong hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and spent a lot of money to repair the mountain gate, which can be described as a great ......honor and favor."

Mu Sheng was stunned when he heard it, this background knowledge was not mentioned by the senior brother back then, but he didn't expect that the former head of the sect Xuanjing Zhenren would have such a glorious past.

Mu Sheng asked, "Do you know who the Xuan Qing Zhenren who recently took over the Jade True Sect is?" ”

Huang Renpu shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, it is said that he is the same brother of Xuanjing Zhenren, he is very low-key, I don't know who his specific surname is, and I have never heard of his deeds." ”

"Oh! Brother Huang, I have a question, why did Uncle Zhang Xian, as a Song person, be so desperately loyal to the Jin Kingdom? I'm afraid there is some reason for this, right? ”

"Senior Brother Mu, you know that Yunhua Sect was destroyed by the Jin army, right? Do you know who led the team to exterminate the Yunhua Sect at that time? ”

Mu Sheng was slightly shocked in his heart and said, "It can't be Uncle Shi, right?" ”

Huang Renpu nodded and said, "It was Zhang Xian who personally led his disciples to help the Jin army in the battle, and almost slaughtered the Yunhua Sect without leaving ......."

Mu Sheng was a little shocked when he heard this, what kind of hatred and what kind of resentment? Although the various factions of the monk sect also fought openly and secretly, and it was normal for some casualties to occur, it was not to the point where they had to dig up the ancestral grave and kill the entire sect?

Of course, it also has something to do with Yunhuazong's standing at the critical moment, even if Zhang Xian doesn't go, after the unification of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yunhuazong will have to be liquidated by the imperial court sooner or later.

Huang Renpu continued, "According to rumors, Zhang Xian was also an inner disciple of Yunhua Sect in his early years, and his cultivation talent was quite powerful, and he was valued by Yunhua Sect, and then I don't know what happened Zhang Xian betrayed the door, Yunhua Sect has always punished traitors very harshly, and sent law enforcement elders to chase and kill Zhang Xian, and later Zhang Xian was not killed, and was rescued by the elders of Yuzhenzong, and the elders cherished his talent and secretly sent him to the Jin Kingdom for refuge, Zhang Xian was later reused by the second emperor, and you also know about the things later......"

Mu Sheng nodded silently, I don't know if there is a story with a hundred turns and thousands of times in the middle, and it is not easy for him to judge who is right and wrong if he doesn't know the details.

The three of them went all the way to the west, there was a small city built by the mountain at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there were two ancient fonts on the city gate, Quancheng, the three of them each led their horses into the city, the spring city was very lively, there were many people who came and went, among them, there were many martial artists dressed as Jianghu rangers mixed in, it was obvious that they were all coming to the Yuzhen Sect of Tiancang Mountain.

The three of them found a liquor shop along the way, and Huang Renpu proposed to go in and rest before setting off for Yuzhenzong.

Mu Sheng also unceremoniously found an empty table and sat down, and the three of them sat around eating a hot meal while watching the local musicians sing local folk songs in the middle of the wine shop......

Huang Renpu listened with relish: "Senior brother, senior sister, this Shenqu really sounds unique?" ”

Before Mu Sheng could answer, Hua Zilan said, "It's okay!" The concubine still thinks that Chen Guo's lyrics and songs are good and more elegant......"

Huang Renpu smiled and said, "What Senior Sister Chen said is very true, back then, the culture of Chen was at its peak, talented and beautiful people were suave, and many local lyrics and songs were written and composed by travelers from all over the world, of course, it was much more elegant......"

Mu Sheng also said with a smile, "Radish greens have their own loves, but I think this Shenqu is closer to the lives of ordinary people......"

The reason why this folk tune is called Shen Qu and not Song Song is because in the Warring States Period, Shen County was the boundary of Shen Guo, a small country in the Central Plains, and later Shen was destroyed by the Song State, and this traditional name was continued.

Just when the three of them were chatting energetically, there was a noise outside the door, and some people gathered outside the wine shop to make trouble, and a group fight broke out.

The three of them looked back, and saw a group of people on the street corner in the distance who didn't know why things were fighting, and after a few glances, they didn't want to get involved in the matter, and continued to talk to themselves.

Before the three of them could talk for a few words, they heard a loud drink in the distance, and a figure flew towards the wine shop where their house was, knocking over several tables of guests eating in the outer hall.

Suddenly, there was a burst of scolding in the wine shop...... The flying man landed right next to their table.
