Chapter 23: History

In the evening, Mo Chen walked along a road towards his home.

Since joining the gang, Mo Chen's original home has rarely been returned. Except for the first time when he went out of the city to see Li Hu and Qian San, he came back once when he came back and took out the savings hidden at home to buy medicinal materials for the two of them, and this is the second time he has come back. Because the street where the pawnshop stationed this time is located is in the civilian area in the west of the city, not far from Mo Chen's home, and there is no extra place to live in the pawnshop, so Mo Chen has to stay in his own house at night these days.

Several people who came to make trouble during the day were killed by Mo Chen, two were seriously injured, and one was not injured because he saw the opportunity quickly, so he gave up resistance but was not injured, and I was put into the cell with the two injured unlucky guys. And if it weren't for the heavy money to feed the cell bosses and the guards of the jailers, these people would never have seen the light of day again in their lives. As for the two corpses, the catchers were disgusted with the trouble and left it to the pawnshop to deal with themselves, and then turned and left.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of situation of killing people, it is not that the Golden Scale Gang is really extremely powerful, covering the sky with one hand. But the Golden Scale Gang is a gang in the rivers and lakes, and as long as the fight with the Black Snake Gang does not involve ordinary people, it belongs to the battle of the rivers and lakes. This is not just a slogan shouted by the people in the rivers and lakes, but an agreement between the court and the rivers and lakes.

The reason for this situation is also the evolution of countless years of struggle between the Jianghu sect and the imperial court. The development of this world is not the same as what Mo Chen knew in his previous life, because of the existence of martial arts, the status of the martial arts sect has always been very transcendent.

In the history of this world, at the beginning, the whole world was ruled by various martial arts families, and martial arts sects ruled a territory, which was like the tribal era. Later, slowly, perhaps for better access to resources, or for some other reason, the most powerful sects united and issued a call for all the forces at that time to unite and form a unified big force, complement each other, and create better conditions for mutual benefit. This is the first dynasty in history "Wu".

In the beginning, a unified dynasty did bring greater convenience and better conditions to all the powers. However, as the interests of various internal forces became more and more demanding, conflicts within the dynasty continued. And the first king at that time, who was also the first in the martial arts world, King Shenwu, did not carefully adjust the conflicts of all parties and straighten out the different interests and needs of all parties, but adopted a strong method of suppression, and was finally killed by the masters of all forces, so the dynasty collapsed. However, the emergence of the Wu Dynasty laid the foundation of the dynasty for later generations.

After a period of chaos, all the forces that had tasted the benefits of the unification of the world were constantly fighting with each other and reshuffling their alliances, and a new dynasty 'Yan' was re-established.

The Yan Dynasty ruled the world for more than 100 years and was shattered due to various reasons, and the world entered an era of dynastic rule that must be divided for a long time, and must be divided for a long time. But what remains unchanged is that the major martial arts forces control the upper echelons and jointly rule the entire world. At that time, the people at the bottom did not have any advanced ranks, they could only passively accept the rule, and because the top had absolute force, they could not even resist.

Until a majestic man appeared. This person was born in a martial arts sect, and he is extremely talented and talented. originally hoped to take over the position of head, but was suppressed by the head who wanted to pass on to his son at that time. Angry, he rebelled and created a gang called the "Wansheng Gang" and gradually grew and grew.

He is very capable of running a gang force, and his achievements in martial arts are even more amazing. Not only did he break the barriers of the original martial arts and further sublimate the martial arts he had learned, but he also thwarted masters from all walks of life when developing his gang, collected all kinds of martial arts, and based on his own martial arts skills, he fused and created an earth-shattering peerless martial arts! At that time, it was at the end of the dynasty, and the world was in turmoil. This person brazenly started the road to world domination with the strength of one person and one gang, and finally succeeded!

You must know that before this person, no matter what dynasty it is, if you want to rule the world, you have to unite all parties, and finally the king and all kinds of forces rule the world together, this person's move is simply a historical precedent. However, he was able to achieve this unprecedented achievement, and I am afraid that he already had invincible martial arts at that time.

The new dynasty was named Sheng, and after dominating the world, he began to make even crazier moves. He first made an appointment with the strongest nine martial arts masters at the time to 'support the heavenly peak' on the highest peak in the world, and killed everyone in one fell swoop, and then sent troops to attack all the martial arts sects and families, and cut off all the large and small martial arts forces that were in the city at that time and could interfere in the affairs of each city by force, forcing them to flee into the deep mountains and old forests to save their lives after heavy losses.

Later, the system of selecting and promoting officials at that time was abolished, and a series of measures were taken to promote the meritocracy system of selecting prestigious people to serve as officials in each locality, and to the imperial examination system in which talents were recruited through examinations. As a result, the power of the central government was greatly enhanced at that time, the status of various literati was greatly increased, and the control of the dynasty was unprecedentedly high, and the power of the king was highly centralized, and there was no need to rule the world with others anymore.

It was because he felt that it was no longer appropriate to call himself a king. So he changed his title to the emperor, and his full name was the ancient saint emperor of Gonggai Qianqiu Wei Town, and the victory dynasty was renamed the Great Victory Dynasty, and everyone in the world called him the holy emperor.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the establishment of the Great Victory was all maintained by the peerless force of the Holy Emperor. When a hundred years have passed, a peerless figure like the Holy Emperor, who has never seen the record of civil and martial arts, will inevitably die. As soon as the Holy Emperor was gone, the world naturally vibrated greatly, and the prestige of Jiwei's crown prince at that time was not enough, coupled with the various sects that heard the death of the Holy Emperor and began to emerge again from the deep mountains and old forests, the entire Great Victory Dynasty soon fell apart.

Just when the world was in chaos again, the county magistrate of a remote county town rose rapidly. This county order was appointed as an official through the imperial examination, and he was not skilled in martial arts, but he was very good at governing internal affairs and winning people's hearts. Taking advantage of the troubled times, he quickly grew his own power, and then in a short period of time, he actually dominated the world again. Then he claimed to inherit the mandate of heaven of the Holy Emperor, and still called himself the emperor, but the self-name was distinguished by "Wen", and the new dynasty was called the Great Cheng Dynasty with the name of inheriting the destiny of the heavens.

Because Emperor Wen Cheng himself was not proficient in martial arts, he thought that martial artists were a great danger to the rule of the dynasty, and he intensified the encirclement and suppression of the various martial arts sects that had just been suppressed under the rule of the Holy Emperor at that time. Then he was assassinated by a martial artist on the way to inspect various places, and the newly established Dacheng Dynasty was suddenly crumbling. Fortunately, although the son of Emperor Wen ascended the throne in a hurry, his means were extraordinary, and after a period of time, the turmoil was finally calmed down. And during this time, the forces such as the sect finally eased up and developed again. At this time, the reigning emperor learned the lesson of his father, recognized the legitimacy of the major factions, and co-opted a number of sects for his own use.

After entering the imperial era, the imperial court was powerful, and the various sects no longer dared to re-station in the city, and still retained the habit of establishing sects on the Qifeng and dangerous mountains. So the dynasty and the martial arts are in a delicate balance.

With the passage of time, the relationship between the dynasty and the martial arts is no longer the original faintly antagonistic relationship. Especially when the dynasty changed, some of the founders of the new dynasty were also able to dominate the world because of the great efforts of the martial arts sect. The relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts was even more complicated, and then it gradually became a kind of affairs in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court was responsible for supervising the conventions and customs, and the same was true of the ruling dynasty at this time.

The Great Chen Dynasty had arrest divisions in all parts of the world that specialized in supervising the forces of the rivers and lakes, and also had the power to arrest people in the martial arts who acted recklessly and harmed the common people. Even the Golden Scale Gang couldn't hide the disturbances made by the Black Snake Gang this time, how could the Arrest Division, which is a violent spy agency of the imperial court, not know about it? It's just that the small fight that happened to Mo Chen today will not be idle to ask questions, and they will all be handed over to ordinary arresters to deal with.

Thinking about these things, Mo Chen unconsciously walked outside the courtyard of the house that he had not been back for a long time, and was about to step forward to open the door, when suddenly his face turned solemn and he paused.
