The night is bright and the stars are scarce, and the top of Wudang Mountain, except for the sound of insects, is quiet.

Wudang golden roof, in the main hall, but the lights are bright, in the empty hall, several figures are erected.

I only heard one of the middle-aged Daoists say to the back of the Daoist in the middle: "Senior Brother in charge, the disciples below have all been prepared for next month's apprenticeship. ”

The figure in the center turned around, only to see his person, ruddy complexion, gray hair and gray beard, deep eyes, calm momentum, wearing a cyan robe, but it is slightly different from the robe worn by Dingxu during the day, the white silk shirt inside, the hem can be seen peach red pants, the sleeves are wide, wearing puffer fish shoes, a Taiji diagram behind the back, the whole person stands there, giving people a quiet taste.

This person is the master of the Wudang Mountain Sect, who believes in Xuanzi Zhenren.

Xin Xuanzi looked at the figures in front of him, sighed in his heart, and said: "Senior brothers and junior brothers, the purpose of accepting apprentices next month is to replenish my fresh blood in Wudang. ”

But the few people present are all high-level Wudang leaders, holding great power, and in charge of everything in Wudang The size is appropriate, among which Dao Xuanzi is really impressive.

Dao Xuanzi opened his mouth and said, "Master, have you really decided?"

Xin Xuanzi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have discussed this matter for more than half a month, so it was decided, this time it is also a last resort, and when my Wudang grandmaster master appears again, it is not too late to return to the old system." ”

When the few people in front of them heard this, they all nodded yes.

Although more than a year has passed since that incident, Lie Xuanzi still couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "That Demon Sect thief, if it weren't for the fact that my Sect Elder Taishang had already flaited away, and there was no grandmaster, how could they rob the Taijiquan Sutra by them." "Lie Xuanzi is a real person, as his name suggests, and his personality is hot.

Hearing this, Xin Xuanzi reprimanded: "Senior brother, meditate, before the master left, he said that you should hone your temperament well, why do you still teach you repeatedly, we are martial arts and the law is focused on meditation and guarding." ”

Lie Xuanzi muttered, but he didn't dare to disobey the teaching, so he had to bow down: "Yes"

When the master was alive, he said that among the brothers, Lie Xuanzi was the most qualified, and if he could grind away his temperament, the grandmaster would have a place.

But it turned out that just over a year ago, Yu Daiyan, the head of the previous generation and the only remaining innate master master on Wudang Mountain, feathered away.

And at the stall where everyone in Wudang Mountain dealt with Yu Daiyan's posthumous affairs, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect dispatched six of the ten elders in one fell swoop, with dozens of good hands, and attacked Wudang Mountain at night, among which dozens of good hands of the Demon Sect, although they were blocked on the Wudang mountainside, but six of the Demon Sect elders still hit the Wudang Golden Peak, in this night attack battle, Wudang suffered heavy losses, although four of the six Demon Sect elders were left, but Wudang also lost three elders, and the Demon Sect disciples were quite vicious, and the poisoning tactics were endless, and the elite disciples were also killed and wounded, although it was a local battle, but because it was a sudden attack, Wudang's reaction was not so timely, resulting in the Taijiquan Sutra was also robbed.

Originally, if the Wudang people pursued with all their might, the Wudang Boxing Sutra might not be robbed, but in the end, Xin Xuanzi saw that if he pursued again, the Wudang disciples would have a lot of casualties, so he ordered not to pursue, because the Taijiquan Sutra and the Shaolin Yijin Sutra are different, the Taijiquan Sutra is only the manuscript of the Sanfeng Patriarch, focusing on the commemorative significance, the Taijiquan Sutra manuscript is not nothing, and the martial arts of the Zhizhi, after several generations of Wudang disciples' efforts, have already been integrated into the various martial arts of Wudang, so it prompted Xin Xuanzi to give an order not to pursue.

It is precisely because of this night attack on Wudang Mountain by the Demon Sect that Wudang can be said to have suffered heavy losses, so this time there are apprentices in advance, hoping to quickly replenish some good seedlings.

In the main hall, Dao Xuanzi's voice sounded: "Master, I'm more worried that the last night attack of the Demon Sect will be related to the imperial court. ”

Hearing Dao Xuanzi's words, everyone present frowned, if there is a shadow of the Ming Court in this matter, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to do, I am afraid that the matter is not over yet.

Xin Xuanzi, shook up the dust, and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, since the Ming Taizu relied on the Ming Sect to start, expelled the Tartars, restored the Han Dynasty, and established the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Sect became the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, on the bright side, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and the imperial court have nothing to do with each other, the well water does not violate the river water, and there is even occasional friction, but according to the character of the Ming Taizu, and the degree of understanding of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that now the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is still in the hands of the royal family, after all, he started by the Ming Sect, and the chivalrous martial arts are forbidden. ”

"Therefore, it should be foreseeable that the imperial court relies on the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the cooperation between the three to meddle in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Moreover, when the head of the previous generation was in charge of Wudang, there was a special envoy sent by the imperial court to persuade the head of the previous generation and the abbot of Shaolin at that time to accept the dispatch of the imperial court and control the forces of the rivers and lakes together, after all, on the rivers and lakes, the north respects Shaolin, the south worships Wudang, plus the Sun and Moon Divine Cult, the court can completely control the entire power of the rivers and lakes, but for some reasons Wudang and Shaolin did not agree at that time, so this is probably the reason for the last incident, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the envoys of the imperial court are afraid to go up the mountain, alas, it is eventful. ”

Dao Xuanzi, hearing this, said: "Master, I don't know what we will do next time if the imperial envoy is to climb the mountain?"

Shin Xuanzi was silent and said, "Let's talk about it then." ”

Then he spoke: "Everyone, it is precisely because of the last night attack of the Demon Sect that Wudang suffered heavy losses, so the mountain gate was opened in advance to accept disciples, and this group of disciples can all practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and according to what we discussed before, the future apprentices can also practice martial arts, and there is no longer a distinction between civil and martial Taoists, of course, while practicing martial arts, the cultivation path naturally cannot be left behind, or that sentence, when will I Wudang have another grandmaster, and then return to the old system,"

All should be.

Blackwood Cliff, the Master's Study.

In the study, a middle-aged man sat behind a desk, holding a scroll in his hand, reflecting the candlelight, reading carefully, because he was sitting on a chair, he couldn't see how tall he was, but even if he was sitting, he was still upright and motionless.

"Knock, knock, knock"

"Enter"

A black-clothed Demon Sect disciple pushed the door in, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Sect Master Qiqi, the matter has been clarified, the Wudang faction's acceptance of disciples will start next month, and there are people in the court who have already made a statement to the emperor to recruit Wudang again, but there are still people who disagree, and the court is also discussing." ”

The man behind the desk, when he heard this, raised his head, only to see the man, the heavenly court was full, his face was like jade, his body was without momentum, and there was a bookish aura on his body, just like a reader. But it is this "scholar" who controls the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and has monstrous power, this person is the leader of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Dugu Sword.

The corners of Dugu Jian's mouth curved slightly, smiled silently, and said to himself: "The court still doesn't give up." After that, he thought quietly.

A moment of silence ensued.

After a while, Dugu Jian spoke: "Continue to investigate, go out." ”

The man in black who knelt on one knee arched his hand and said, "Yes, sect leader, my subordinates retire." With that, he slowly exited the door and closed it.

In the room, Dugu Jian did not pick up the book again, but walked slowly to the wall, and took down a long sword hanging on the wall, this sword, the scabbard is ordinary, as Dugu Jian slowly pulled out the sword body, Dugu Jian's body gradually rose a momentum, until the sword body was completely out of the scabbard, the momentum on Dugu Jian's body finally reached its peak, there seemed to be a sword roar in the air, a hundred meters outside the house, frogs and insects chirped, disappeared, a quiet.
