Chapter 47: The Past of the Rivers and Lakes
East Xuan Sword Pool, Great Xuan Sword Sect.
With a hint of sadness on his face, Ximen Feilong looked at the Ximen East Building, which was standing in a daze in the courtyard, and asked: "Grandpa, what kind of deep friendship do you have with that old man surnamed Mu? β
After being silent for a long time, the East Building of the West Gate said slowly: "This matter is a long story......
A touch of remembrance appeared on the old man's face, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Back then, when grandpa was as old as you, he had traveled to the rivers and lakes out of the Sword Sect, and before that, Huangfu Yuan had just stood out from the many overlords who had risen up, occupied half of the land of Shenzhou, and established the Great Zhou regime. At that time, there were Tianfeng alien races in the north who had been expelled from the Central Plains to fight back at any time, and Li Tingyu, who had already been called the emperor, was eyeing the emperor in the south, and Huangfu Yuan, who was born in the rivers and lakes, issued hero stickers, under the banner of restoring the Central Plains, and invited people from all over the world to go to the northwest to fight against the Tianfeng Dynasty, which still occupied three and a half states at that time. At that time, no one did not hate to divide the people into three, six, nine and other as pigs and dogs of the Tianfeng alien race, the hero posted out, the heroes responded, and there were tens of thousands of martial arts people gathered in the northwest, with the knife in their hands, the sword in the palm of the northwest border to kill the Quartet......"
Speaking of this, the old man seemed to be thinking of the magnificent and fierce old past, and he couldn't help but clench his fists in the wrinkled hands behind him
After a long time, the West Gate East Building came back to his senses and said with a chuckle: "It was at that time that I met Mu Linsen, at that time, the two of us were stunned and a martial arts person, followed by a martial arts senior, formed a team of 100 people to support each other. When I was young, I was like you, I came from a famous family and had some talent, so I thought very highly of myself, and the reason why I noticed Old Man Mu was because of his name, Mu Linsen, hehe, how interesting this name is! I have also made fun of him many times with this...... Later, our pair of men and horses were surrounded by a large army of the enemy, and more than 100 people died 78 out of 10, and even I was hit by an arrow in the leg, but Mu Linsen's boy actually slipped away and was unscathed. When the catastrophe was approaching, everyone cared only about themselves, but he, who was not very close to me and was often teased by me, carried me out of the pile of dead, and just like that, a young man covered in blood carried another young man with an arrow in the leg, and rushed left and right among the black and oppressed people......"
"I will never forget that scene in my life......," the old man said this, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, and continued: "Since then, I have become brothers with Mu Linsen, I have met too many people in my life, and he is the only one who may let me call me a brother in the East Building of the West Gate." β
When Ximen Feilong heard this, his heart fluctuated and his expression changed.
The old man was immersed in the past, and it took a long time to retract his thoughts, he glanced at his grandson, and continued: "Later, the emperors of the Tianfeng alien race were all killed, and the remaining remnants of the army shrank to the border of the two states outside the border of the West Gate, and Huangfu Yuan turned his head and began to deal with Li Tingyu who was entrenched in Jiangnan Province...... Feilong, when you hear this, do you feel that something is wrong?"
"I can't figure it out, why didn't Li Tingyu, who occupied the rich land of the two states in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, take advantage of the Great Zhou Taizu's all-out attack on the northwest to lead the army to raid Jinling City, the capital of the Great Zhou State at that time?"
Ximen Donglou smiled, "Because an incident happened during this period, although this incident has not been recorded in history, it has also become an important reason why Huangfu Yuan ordered the rectification of martial arts after he won the world." β
"The reason why Li Tingyu did not raid Jinling when Huang Fuyuan's main army attacked the northwest was not because of Huang Fuyuan's bullshit peace book, but because the number one master in the world at that time said that as long as Li Tingyu dared to attack Jinling at this time, he would take off his head. Li Tingyu is also a hero, and he will definitely not care too much about the words of a martial artist, he once secretly sent his general Wu Dingyuan to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Jinling, but before Wu Dingyuan could order troops on the battlefield, he was taken away at home, which is the real reason why Li Tingyu did not take advantage of the danger. This is also the reason why Huangfu Yuan easily defeated Li Tingyu to seize Jiangnan. β
Ximen Feilong was secretly surprised when he heard it, but he didn't understand why his grandfather wanted to tell him these things, thinking that it should be that his grandfather opened the conversation clip and couldn't hold it for a while, so he listened patiently.
I only heard the West Gate East Building and said: "After Huangfu Yuan became the emperor, within a few years, the number one in the world at that time died, so he came to a major rectification of the rivers and lakes, and all the martial arts people who did not obey the control of the imperial court were killed, and some of them fled to Dongxuan." Some of those people fanned the flames, saying that it was better to go to Dongxuan Sword Pool, it just so happened that the Ximen family had not been affected, maybe your grandfather would join forces with them to fight against the imperial army, but in fact, this matter was far from being that simple, which contained a big conspiracy. β
Speaking of this, the old man's originally calm face showed a trace of anger, "The reason why those Jianghu people who were unwilling to obey the imperial court were able to escape under the Makino cavalry army that was the best in the world at that time was all intentional by the great general Sun Muye, the purpose was to let those people flee to the Dongxuan Sword Pool, if the Dongxuan Sword Pool did not open the mountain gate to accept them, then there would inevitably be someone among them who maliciously instigated and prompted those outlaws to fight with my Dongxuan Sword Pool, but if the Dongxuan Sword Pool opened the sect to accept this group of martial arts masters, it would be tantamount to turning against the imperial court." And the reason why this disaster was avoided at that time was because Mu Linsen traveled day and night and rushed to Jiufeng Mountain to report the news in advance. β
"Later, after some discussion, your grandfather thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, first led more than 10,000 disciples of the sect to wait a hundred miles away from the Dongxuan Sword Pool, and after meeting with those people, he first took out the person who pretended to escape and was actually responsible for fanning the flames, and after killing him, your grandfather reached an agreement with the gang of Jianghu people to let them retreat into Kunlun Mountain, and our Dongxuan Sword Pool pretended to ask for orders to the imperial court, guarding Dongxuan for generations, and not allowing them to go out of Kunlun Mountain for half a step, so that they could not only have a place to live, but also avoid letting Dongxuan Sword Pool suffer from unwarranted disastersγ After some analysis of the interests and disadvantages, the gang finally compromised and chose to enter Kunlun Mountain, which was later merged into one sect, which is now known as the Tianshan Hidden Gate of the Demon Sect. And my Ximen family also sent several boxes of gold and silver to a senior official in the capital at that time, which was recognized by the imperial court, and it was not as broken as other sects. β
Speaking of this, Ximen Donglou looked at his grandson with burning eyes and asked, "Tell me, should I help Mu Linchun?"
Ximen Feilong was speechless for a while, so he had to nod his head stupidly.
