Chapter 614: Fifty Years Later

Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom. A generation of new people in the rivers and lakes has replaced the old people, and decades have passed, and the heroes who dominated the world in the past have gradually disappeared without a trace, and they have been replaced by a new generation of Jianghu people.

This year is the 50th year of the Ming Dynasty (the second year of Yuan Zhishun), and it has been 50 years since the Dadu Rebellion. Fifty years ago, Zhou Botong, Fang Zhixing, and Zhang Junbao made trouble in the capital, and Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Guo Poyu and others in the south also won a great victory in the naval battle. The two victories, one south and one north, not only demonstrated the strength of Liuqiu Island, but also started the name of Liuqiu Island. Subsequently, under the table of Wen Tianxiang, Deng Yan and others, Guo Poyu officially called Wang Jian, changed the flow of Qiu Island to Mingzhou Island, and set the country name as Ming and the year name as Poyu, in order to show that he would break the northern captives, and went toe-to-toe with Meng Yuan. In the following decades, there were battles between the Ming and Yuan dynasties, and the Ming army was on the defensive at the beginning, but since the death of Yuan Shizu and Yuan Chengzong, the Yuan Dynasty changed the throne disorderly, and the government was in turmoil. Thirty years after the break, Guo Jing was critically ill, when the people in Lin'an and other places raised righteousness, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to return to Lin'an, after more than ten years of war, to the forty-third year of the captivity, the Ming army was dying of Jiangnan, and Meng Yuan crossed the river and ruled. The situation in the whole world also seems to have returned to fifty years ago, but who is the winner this time is afraid that it will be very different.

"Have you already recovered Xiangyang? It seems that the period of the Northern Expedition is not far away, I hope this time it will not be in vain!" At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a Taoist priest with white hair heard the news of the discussion in the crowd and sighed with emotion. Some time ago, the Ming army launched another northern expedition in the south and finally recovered Xiangyang. This is what everyone is talking about here.

"Of course, it won't be in vain. I think that this Northern Expedition will definitely be able to kill the Mongol Tartars cleanly. So that they can no longer stay in the Central Plains. The shame of the two hundred years since Jingkang will also be wiped away!" Next to him, a man dressed up seemed to hear the Taoist priest's exclamation and shouted. In his words, it seemed that the Northern Expedition had been victorious, and he did not have the slightest consciousness of being in the territory of Mengyuan.

However, not only him, but also the surrounding martial arts people also did not have this kind of awareness. One of the reasons why these people gathered at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain was that this place was protected by the Beidou Sword Sect, and the soldiers and horses of Meng Yuan did not dare to come easily. Since the rebellion of Dadu fifty years ago. The Quanzhen Sect was soon officially split into more than a dozen sects, each of which preached in its own name, and among these sects, in addition to the Huashan School and the Wudang School that emerged later, the one who inherited the martial arts inheritance and the status of the Jianghu was the Beidou Sword School that still remained on Zhongnan Mountain. This faction inherited more than half of the force of the Quanzhen Sect, although it rarely moved around the rivers and lakes because it was suppressed by the Yuan Dynasty, but no one dared to underestimate its martial arts, especially the Beidou Great Array, the town faction formation. It can be said that it is one of the few unique schools in the rivers and lakes that can compete head-on with the army, and in the entire martial arts, only Shaolin's Arhat Array may be comparable to it. With such strength, and in the middle of the mountains. Naturally, the soldiers and horses of Mengyuan did not dare to come and provoke easily, so many of the righteous soldiers who were still insisting on resisting Yuan in the north gathered here. Especially after the Ming army occupied Jiangnan, the number of people increased several times. After Meng Yuan's side saw this scene. Naturally, there was the idea of attacking, but after several generals who led the army died without explanation. The matter was never mentioned again. Therefore, over time, this place has become a holy place for anti-Yuan, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes can be said to be anti-Yuan people, no matter what they say or do, they have no scruples.

"Dao Chief, you are a Qing cultivator on Zhongnan Mountain, right? It is understandable that you don't know the general trend of the world. Now in this world, it's not the past, don't say that we are talking about killing Tartars here, even in other places, there are many people who dare to say and dare to do it. In the past, the sword god Fang Zhenren spread Taizu's long fist all over the world, leaving a way for the people of the world to resist Meng Yuan, and now all over the north and south, this fist method has spread all over the country. If the Tartars don't form a group when they go out, they probably won't be able to come back. That's it, do you think the Northern Expedition can win?" seemed to see the old Taoist priest's puzzlement, and a martial arts person explained.

"Hmm!" nodded slightly, the old Taoist seemed to suddenly realize, and said: "So that's the case, it seems that the day of the recovery of the Central Plains is not far away." Alas, I really didn't expect Lao Dao to be able to see this day!" The words are full of embarrassment, and it seems to contain countless vicissitudes.

"Haha!" Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing, and their voices were extremely happy. The Mongols have done a lot of evil in the Central Plains, and now they are about to be expelled, how can these people not be happy in their hearts!

The old man sighed for a while, as if he was reminiscing about something, and after a while, he asked again: "The old Tao has not been out of the mountain for a long time, I don't know what is going on in the world, I don't know what has happened in the rivers and lakes over the years?"

"Hey, everyone is busy killing the Tartars, what big thing can be on the rivers and lakes? If you want to say that the most sensational thing should be that the Demon Sect Leader Yang Dingtian suddenly died eight years ago, and other things are really not worth mentioning. One person in the crowd replied.

Someone else chimed in: "Yes! I think that Yang Dingtian is full of talents, and he is regarded as the number one master of the new generation, and he has developed the Demon Sect from the border of the Western Regions to the Central Plains, but he suddenly passed away at a young age, leaving a group of people fighting for power and profit, which is really a pity!"

"Yang Dingtian died violently, that's a pity!" the old man sighed in the same way. But having said that, he didn't seem to pay much attention to this, and then asked, "But there are other things, such as the martial arts alliance, the birth of cheats, or something?"

When everyone heard this, they thought about it in their minds, and most of them shook their heads and said nothing. The old man saw that he had nothing to gain, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a person whisper: "Speaking of martial arts cheats, the old man remembered something, it is said that a few days ago, Xie Xun, the golden lion king of the Demon Sect, hit the Kongtong faction for no reason, not only injured a few people, but also took away the "Seven Injuries Boxing Book" written by Mu Lingzi, the ancestor of the Kongtong faction. Alas, the Kongtong faction is really in decline now!"

"Seven Wounds Fist Spectrum?" Hearing this, many people suddenly exclaimed. Mu Lingzi was powerful in the past, and the prestige of the Seven Injuries Boxing is still circulating, but I didn't expect that now that he has passed away for more than ten years, someone will play Kongtong and win the "Seven Injuries Boxing Book". Such a contrast is really impressive.

However, some people were a little skeptical and asked: "Although the Golden Retriever Lion King has outstanding martial arts, it is not enough to take the scriptures from the five elders of Kongtong alone, right? Besides, there are many famous people in the Kongtong faction, how can he let him enter and exit at will alone?" (To be continued......)
