Chapter 14 Are the Mongols Really That Hateful?
When Long Xiaotian saw this, he hurriedly rushed forward, helped Monk Yizhen up, and asked with concern: "Yizhen, are you okay?"
After Monk Yizhen stood up, he praised and said, "Long Shaoxia, the powerful Vajra finger you used just now is really amazing, congratulations on your martial arts to the next level!"
At this time, Abbot Huineng said to Long Xiaotian earnestly: "The road to learning martial arts is endless, don't be proud of the momentary progress, because there are people outside the world, and there are people on the rivers and lakes who are higher than your martial arts." Now that you have learned the Mighty Vajra Finger and have the Qianyang Divine Skill Protector, you no longer have to be afraid of Mo Heren and Sages, and you will have a way to deal with them. β
Abbot Huineng's words moved Long Xiaotian's heart at this time.
"It turns out that Master Huineng taught me the Mighty Vajra Finger so that I can have a way to deal with Mo Heren and Seqis? Master is really well-intentioned! I must remember the master's teachings and pursue a higher level of martial arts cultivation. β
Abbot Huineng nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Well, it's a good thing that young people can have such an awareness! You will definitely be a great martial arts wizard in the future, your hero post has been delivered, now go down the mountain! Don't delay the deadline for sending the post, your master is still waiting for you in Huashan!"
"Yes, Master, let Howling Sky farewell. β
Under the farewell of Monk Yizhen and Master Mingkong, as well as all the monks of Shaolin Temple and Abbot Huineng himself, Long Xiaotian and Wu Min left Shaolin Temple and rushed towards the direction of Wudang Mountain, the next place to send the post.
It is said that after Long Xiaotian learned the Qianyang Divine Skill and the Mighty Vajra Finger taught by Master Shaolin Huineng, he and Wu Min each rode a horse and headed in the direction of Wudang Mountain.
The two rode horses and whips along the way, with Hongchen as their companion, like a pair of fairy couples, but they didn't dare to confide in each other.
"Miss Wu, I didn't expect your riding skills to be so good, when I bought a horse at the market just now, I was worried that you couldn't ride a horse. β
Wu Min is a Mongolian girl who likes to ride horses and shoot arrows since she was a child, so riding a horse is not a problem for him at all, but of course she will not tell Long Xiaotian about this identity, so she turned her face sideways with a smile and said to Long Xiaotian, who was walking with her: "Ah, yes? I only remember that I have almost learned how to ride a horse since I rode your white whirlwind to rescue you from Mo Heren and Sages." β
"Miss Wu is really ice and snow smart! I think when my master taught me to ride a horse, I had to learn it for ten days before I learned it, and today is the world of the Mongolians, and I can't do it if I don't learn a little kung fu immediately!"
Speaking of this, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but think of Mo Heren and Seches.
"Luckily, I bought you a horse at the bazaar, so that your two senior brothers can't catch up with us. β
"Yes, they never thought that we would be so fast at the foot of Wudang Mountain, our horses have been running for days without resting, and it is time for them to rest. β
"There's a little river ahead, let's have some water for our horses there!"
"Well, good idea. β
So saying, the two rode to a small river in front of them, and after dismounting, they led the horses to the river to drink. Then the two sat under a large tree and chatted.
"Brother Long, don't you hate the Mongols very much!"
Long Xiaotian leisurely picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it into the water and said: "I have heard my master say since I was a child how the Mongols persecuted us Han people, so I don't have a good impression of the Mongols, I only know that they are a group of demons, and sooner or later they will be driven back to our hometown by our Han people." β
"Haven't you thought that there are good people among the Mongols? There are still good friends among our Han people, and the reason why we hate the Mongols so much is because when today's son is cruel and tyrannical and does not exercise benevolent government, if the Mongolian emperor can also be like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and be considerate of the people, should we still judge the imperial court?"
Long Xiaotian shook his head persistently and firmly, as if he had already made up his mind to be an enemy of the imperial court.
"You're naΓ―ve. The Mongols ranked us Han people in the lowest rank, wantonly ravaged us Han Chinese, arbitrarily humiliated, deprived the sixty-year-old man of his right to live, forcibly took possession of the bride's first night, and forcibly took away the peasants' food and blood and sweat, and we Han people were basically equivalent to slaves under the rule of the Mongols. The only thing that can change the fate of the Han people is to change the dynasty, because only in this way can we make the Han people no longer be bullied and insulted by the Mongols, and only in this way can we completely change the fate of our Han people. β
Long Xiaotian's words made Wu Min's heart full of melancholy at this time, she lowered her head in a daze, and didn't say anything on her lips, but she said in her heart: "Is it not destined that I and him will not have a good result? β
At this time, Long Xiaotian noticed her look of sorrow when she was in a daze, so he said to her: "Miss Wu, your face looks as if you are worried about something! Don't you believe that we Han people will overthrow the imperial court, you don't have to worry, we will definitely overthrow the imperial court and drive the Mongol Tartars out of the customs." β
Wu Min smiled reluctantly for a while, and said a little perfunctorily: "Hehe, I also believe that there will be a day." β
After a while, the two horses had eaten and drunk enough, and Long Xiaotian patted Wu Min on the shoulder before standing up and said, "Okay, our horses have rested enough, it's time to continue on the road." β
However, at this very moment, a group of robbers dressed in Han costumes were holding weapons, chasing several unarmed Mongols in Mongolian costumes, and in the ranks of the Mongols there were two old men, two teenagers, and a woman holding a baby in her hand.
When the robbers caught up with the two Mongolian boys, before the two teenagers shouted for help, they did not hesitate to kill both of them, and the two old men were also stabbed by the robbers, and in the end only the Mongolian woman with the child in her hand was left.
When the robbers surrounded the Mongol woman in the middle, they had evil intentions. One of the robbers snatched the baby from the woman's hand and threw it to death without saying a word, while the Mongolian woman was being stripped naked by two of the robbers and ready to be prepared**.
Suddenly, a figure flew above the head of the gang of robbers, and this person was Long Xiaotian. I saw that he used a chain leg to kick the two robbers who were preparing to ** Mongolian women to the ground, and then knocked all the remaining robbers to the ground with three punches and two kicks, but he never thought of using the Lingyun Sword to solve their lives.
After the robbers who had been knocked down by Long Xiaotian stood up, they fled.
"Why didn't you kill them?"
Seeing that gang of Han robbers bullying Mongolian compatriots like this, Wu Min felt particularly angry in his heart, and Long Xiaotian explained: "They are still Han after all, and I, as a Han Chinese, must not kill my own compatriots." β
After saying that, he looked at the Mongolian woman who was lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, and then continued: "It's better to save people." β
However, what Long Xiaotian never expected was that the Mongolian woman suddenly stood up and slammed her head into a big tree, killing her on the spot.
Wu Min said at this time: "She must have committed suicide in shame because she couldn't stand being spoiled by that gang of robbers." β
Long Xiaotian sighed deeply and said expressionlessly, "Let's bury their corpses!"
After burying these poor Mongols, Wu Min asked Long Xiaotian, "Why do you save them when you know that they are Mongols?"
"Chivalry and righteousness are not divided into races, and seeing these weak people being bullied like this, I can't see death without help. β
"I'm right! Whether it is the Mongols or the Han Chinese, there are good people and bad people. You always say that the Han people are oppressed by the Mongols, but now you see that it is these innocent Mongols who are the victims, and it is the Han people who are bullying them. β
However, Long Xiaotian's next sentence made Wu Min completely stunned at this time.
"In fact, these Han people are because they have been oppressed by the Mongols, and because of hatred, they have taken revenge on these poor Mongols by treating them in their own way. I don't know how long it will take for the hatred between us Han Chinese and the Mongols to stop. β
"Do you hate the Mongols so much? These dead Mongols are innocent, why do you still speak for the Han people? You saw with your own eyes that it was the Han people who killed these Mongols!"
Long Xiaotian shook his head, looked into Wu Min's eyes and said to her: "There are some things you won't understand, the hatred between the Han and the Mongols cannot be solved by overthrowing a Yuan dynasty, but will continue to the next generation or even the next generation, as long as either side still exists, the hatred will never end." β
After saying this, Long Xiaotian turned around and left, looking at his back when he was gradually moving away, Wu Min felt that he was so familiar and strange in front of her, which made her heart more and more melancholy at the moment.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, the two rode into a small city and found a restaurant to eat. When the two of them chose a place and sat down, the shopkeeper, who had a rag on his shoulder, stepped forward very enthusiastically and asked politely, "May I ask the two guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
Long Xiaotian replied: "Stir-fry a few plates of side dishes first, and then serve a pot of wine." β
"Okay!"
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a plate of dishes and wine, and still said politely: "Guest officer, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly." β
After the food was ready, Long Xiaotian put a chopstick dish in Wu Min's bowl and said, "Miss Wu, eat more food and have to hurry for a while." β
However, at this time, a group of Mongolian soldiers suddenly rushed into the hotel, and before the shopkeeper could politely step forward to say hello, the Mongolian soldier led by the shopkeeper grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and scolded and yelled: "Go and tell your shopkeeper that your hotel has been chartered by our Mongolians, and tell them to eat in other hotels." β
Because he was running a small business, the boss of the shopkeeper showed a smile that was almost stammering and flattering the group of Mongolians, and he didn't dare to offend them, so he hurriedly stepped forward in a low voice and said: "Master Jun, I am the shopkeeper in this hotel, please don't smash my shop, I will tell them to leave." β
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper raised his voice and said to all the Han people who were eating: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go to another hotel to eat! This military master has chartered our store today, and we will not do other people's business today, please do okay with the guest officers!"
As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, all the guests around him were talking, constantly complaining about the cowardice of the shopkeeper in front of the Mongols and the arrogance of the Mongols.
