"When is the Wuxing era?" Bai Ya heard with relish, which was much more interesting than the Hollywood blockbusters he had seen in his previous life.

"Speaking of the Wuxing era, we need to first talk about the Wenxing era and the Qin and Chu wars!" Wang Peng said, with a hint of excitement, just as he had heard the master introduce these secrets for the first time.

In the first year of Shenzhou, after more than a hundred years of struggle and after countless demon hunting teams paid great sacrifices, the major countries slowly got rid of the threat of wild beasts and demons and monsters, and began to try to expand their territory to the wilderness areas where other species were entrenched.

During the period from the first year of Shenzhou to 802, the natural disasters in the Shenzhou world gradually decreased, the threat of other species also slowly subsided, and the population of Shenzhou began to multiply and increase at an unprecedented rate.

Compared with the changes in land territory and population, the physical fitness of secular humans has also improved significantly in the process of adaptation for more than 1,000 years.

However, in a comfortable environment without the threat of large-scale war, the spiritual world of the secular people is increasingly scarce.

As a result, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various academic schools that flourished in a hundred flowers have developed greatly during this long period of time. In particular, Taoism, which advocates quiet and inaction, and conforms to the way of heaven, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has been greatly popularized and believed.

From the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty until the introduction of Buddhism to Middle-earth in 802, this period is known as the Wenxing era of the hundred schools of thought.

"I see, then the Wenxing era is followed by the Wuxing era?" Bai Ya tried to ask.

"Don't worry, kid, listen to someone slowly!" Wang Peng also came to talk about it, pondered for a while, and continued, "The Wenxing era and the Wuxing era are not seamless, there is still a gap of hundreds of years in between, and the cause of the Wuxing era is due to the Qin-Chu War that began in 997 in the Shenzhou calendar, also known as the Second Shenzhou Unification War......"

In the year 997 of the Shenzhou calendar, Xiong Xin, the king of Chulie, was mediocre, strict with the princes in the territory, and tyrannical to the people, and did not know how to be sympathetic, and finally provoked a civil uprising in the whole territory.

The Chu people Baiqixin gathered the crowd to revolt, led the Taiping Fifty-six Dao, called the Qingxian Taoist, and was assisted by the Yue Nu Sword.

The princes of Chu, Wu, Yue and Lu added fuel to the fire, secretly provided their armaments, and the rebel army won successive battles, gradually approaching the capital of Chu "Ying" with millions of people.

At that time, Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Lie, was desperate to mobilize 600,000 elite Chu troops to fight a decisive battle with Taiping Dao outside the capital, and successfully defeated the rebel army with high morale but lack of training and military discipline.

The Yue Nu lineage was also scattered into two branches, and since then they have been sheltered in Wu and Vietnam.

However, although King Chu Lie defeated the rebel army, he could no longer suppress the princes in the country, and the state of Chu fell into continuous turmoil.

This large-scale war in the Chu realm made the major countries of Shenzhou wake up from a dream, and found that the fission of heaven and earth that began more than 2,000 years ago no longer affects the large-scale assembly and combat of the army.

At the same time, because of thousands of years of peaceful reproduction, the populations of the major countries began to saturate, and they needed new living space and land wealth. The development of wilderness areas is often difficult, and it is better to directly grab the cities of other countries, so the land of Shenzhou rekindles the flames of war.

"The old things of 2,000 years ago were repeated, and in 1016 of the Shenzhou calendar, I once again mobilized a large army to go east to Guguan, invaded the original Chu realm of Chu, Wu, Yue, and Lu, and provoked the second Shenzhou United War. Speaking of the battle between Qin and Chu, Wang Peng had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Because the territory of Shenzhou has expanded countless times, even with the means of communication and communication of spaceships, post roads, and teleportation runes, the mobilization, assembly, and information transmission of the army are still very slow.

Qin's surprise attack caught the anxious Chu by surprise, and at the same time, it failed to get support from other nations. The hastily battled Chu army was defeated, and the Chu state soon lost dozens of cities in the north of Jingzhou.

Among them, the small vassal state of Shangyong County, the Yan State, fell to the whole territory. The Qin army that invaded the territory of the Yan State burned, killed and looted, causing the lives to be ruined, the heavens angry and the people resentful, thus unexpectedly angering a group of people.

"At that time, Wudang Mountain in the territory of Yanguo belonged to the Taoist holy land, and there were countless Taoist temples on the mountain, led by the three major Taoist temples were Zhenwu Temple, Sanqing Temple and Yuxu Palace......" Wang Peng continued with deep eyes.

Taoism advocated quietness and intolerance against the upper echelons of rulers, opposition to strife, and harmony with nature. However, compared with the lower-class people, the Taoist patriarchs of the past dynasties also had the compassionate mind of teaching without saying a word and helping the world and saving the people.

For example, the three Mao brothers of the Sizhou Taoist priest were respected by the world as the three Mao Zhenjun because they collected medicine and alchemy in Juqu Mountain and rescued the mountain people, and renamed Juqu Mountain as Maoshan Mountain.

Cheng Zhonglu's missionary all-truth Tao has integrated the specific idea of helping the world and saving the people into the sect. The patriarch of the third generation, Changzi, also had a beautiful talk of "stopping killing with a word" at the end of the Wenxing era.

Taoism, which has experienced the great fission of heaven and earth, because of the integration of the concept of poverty and goodness in the world, its Taoism is generally recognized by the lower classes. Compared with most of the other schools of thought, Taoism has a larger audience, and it has evolved into the first major religion of the hundred schools of thought over the years.

Even decades ago, Bai Qixin, who first exposed the uprising of the people in Chudi, was also in the name of Taiping Taoism, so that he could quickly gather people to start an incident.

In order to prevent the Qin army from wreaking havoc in the Yan country, the patriarchs of the Three Great Dao Temples of Wudang Mountain, Yu Qianzi, Jingtian Daoren, and She Lu successively descended the mountain, and when the persuasion was ineffective, the three of them each led a thousand Taoist disciples to attack the Qin army camp at night.

"As a result, this night attack, which was supposed to be considered a martyrdom, was unexpected," Wang Peng said with a wry smile......

The three thousand Taoist disciples were invincible, and the patriarchs of the Three Great Dao Temples were even strolling in the hundreds of thousands of Qin military camps, treating the sword and crossbow as if they were nothing, and all their gestures had the power of heavenly thunder, and there were countless Qin army generals who killed the generals and above.

By dawn, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops had been killed and dispersed by 3,000 Taoist disciples overnight, and there were countless floating corpses in the barracks, bleeding and drifting.

The outcome of this war shocked the whole of China, and for the first time in the thousands of years of recorded history of China, the individual force of a small group surpassed the state violence apparatus, and the warriors appeared in front of the world with a new look.

"This battle has added another national shame to my Great Qin, but aside from the war and historical impact, it is also a milestone in the realm of cultivator martial arts!" Wang Peng said with a complicated expression.

In view of the fact that some Taoist disciples have been able to show the unity of heaven and man and the ability to communicate the aura of heaven and earth in this battle, later generations divided their martial arts realm into innate martial arts, which was different from the previous acquired martial arts.

As for the cultivation of the patriarchs of the Three Great Dao Temple, future generations do not dare to comment on it, but only guess that their cultivation is still above the congenital.

In later generations, after the scholars of the hundred schools of thought, it was believed that the martial artist could cultivate to such a point, and there was no doubt that it had a lot to do with the fission of heaven and earth. While the fission of heaven and earth expanded the territory of the land, the abundant aura that accompanied it also allowed the cultivator's martial arts realm to go further.

In particular, among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Taoists, the Mohists, the Yin and Yang Sects, the Soldiers, the Doctors and other sects pay attention to health preservation and the cultivation of both civil and military affairs.

Unconsciously, the disciples of these sects have completed the transformation of the life level. With the fighting skills they cultivated, they could often defeat hundreds, thousands, or even real ten thousand enemies.

Recognizing this, other schools of thought that were originally only good at academics followed suit, such as Legalism, Confucianism, famous scholars, and peasant families, and began to cultivate both civil and military affairs.

But the kings and princes of the various countries were helpless at this time. After more than 2,000 years of development, the power of the hundred schools of thought has been deeply rooted in the temples and the people, and can no longer be completely eradicated.

As a result, the great powers began to try to win over those academic sects that were both civil and military, and drove them to attack the enemy countries as pawns. The power of the warriors began to gradually spread from a small number of self-cultivation to the secular world.

"It seems that in 1503 of the Shenzhou calendar, the twentieth generation disciple of Sanmao Zhenjun, Hongjing Daoren, opened a sect in Maoshan Mountain, which was recognized by later generations as the first official Xianwu sect. Wang Peng said with a smile, "About a hundred years later, the Wudang Three Great Dao Views were divided and merged, and finally the Wudang True Martial Dao was established, and the main worship of the True Martial Emperor, the disciple of the Pure Heaven Dao - Tong Xuanzi was the first sect leader!"

"Wudang Sect?" Bai Ya felt a little strange in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the Hou Li Xue Palace......

"That's it!" Wang Peng smiled indifferently and continued, "In the autumn of the following year after the establishment of the Qing Dao on Maoshan Mountain, the Mo family Ju Zihong recruited disciples in Shangqiu, the Song capital, and established the Yingtian Academy, which mainly taught the Mo family doctrine and immortal martial arts......"

However, unlike Taoism, Legalist disciples originally did not pay attention to health preservation and martial arts, nor did they practice swords and martial arts because of the Mohists' ideological proposition of "non-attack", preparing to prevent war. Therefore, the Houli School Palace, headquartered in Xianyang, Qin State, was established more than two hundred years later than Yingtian Academy. ”

Wang Peng pursed his lips and continued, "If I am not mistaken, it should be in the year 1738 of the Shenzhou calendar. The Houli Academy of Legalism not only teaches law, but also integrates the spirit of Legalism into the health and martial arts, forming a unique Legalist immortal martial arts ......"

So far, the rest of the hundreds of schools have followed suit.

During the period from 1788 to 1912 in the Shenzhou calendar, Confucianism and other schools of thought also cooperated in Linzi, the capital of Qi, Yuelu Mountain, and Lushan in the Chu State to establish the Jixia Academy, Yuelu Academy, and Bailudong Academy.

These four academies and the Yingtian Academy established by the Mohists hundreds of years ago were called the Five Great Palaces of Shenzhou by later generations, and branches were opened in major cities of the world to teach hundreds of academic schools.

Among them, the Houli Academy is mainly taught law, Yingtian Academy is mainly based on Mojia theory, Bailudong Academy is mainly based on Confucianism, Yuelu Academy is mainly based on the way of military warfare, and Jixia School Palace is inclusive of all rivers, not only teaching Confucianism, Mo, law, Taoism, and military theory, but also does not exclude the Yin and Yang family, vertical and horizontal family, medical family, peasant family and miscellaneous theory.

"In the hundreds of years from the establishment of the Maoshan Sect to the establishment of the Five University Palaces, the martial arts style in Shenzhou prevailed, and everyone cultivated, and later generations called this period the Wuxing Era!" Wang Peng finished speaking in one breath, and drank the tea that had already cooled on the table.
