Chapter 275: Good intentions
Mei Yulong said: "Brother Li, today I will introduce you to our Guangfu Sect. The legend of the martial arts people in the Central Plains is good, the founder of our Guangfu Sect and the current missing sect leader are all Turks, but you have been on Helan Mountain for three days, how many Turks can be seen? In fact, the Guangfu Sect is now our Han people's world, and the people in the rivers and lakes say that we are the minions of the Turks, and we are the first to take the lead in the Turkic invasion of our Great Song Dynasty, which is completely nonsense and a big mistake, we are all descendants of the Han people, how can we be lackeys of foreign races and do things that our ancestors did not tolerate?" Zuo Shen said: " Mei Zuo's envoy is right, now in the Guangfu Sect, except for a few elders and some older disciples who are Turkic, the rest are either our Han people, or the Tangut people, the Liao people, the Khitans, the Hui people, and the Tubo people, and the Turkic people who have gone west really have nothing to do with it. ”
Li Yihang said: "Then what is the meaning of the word 'Guangfu' in your religious name?" Mei Yulong said: "Recovering the glory of the past, the territory of the former empire, this is the original intention of our first sect leader Ashina Miri to establish this religion, you may not know that the Turks claim to be the descendants of the Huns, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the vast area around here was full of areas where they herded horses and sheep. ”
Zuo Shen said: "Let me introduce the history of the Turks. During the period of our Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Turkic tribes were nomadic in Jinshan (now Altai Mountain) and initially attached to Rouran. In the Western Wei Dynasty, the first territory defeated Tiele, broke Rouran, established a political power, reached the Great Khing'an Mountains in the east, reached the West Sea (Aral Sea) in the west, crossed the Beihai (Lake Baikal) in the north, and connected the Amu Daryan River in the south, and established an official system, with legislation and writing. In the period of our Sui Dynasty, the Sui general Changsun Sheng used a divisive strategy to divide it into two parts, Tang Taizong Zhenguan for four years, defeated the Eastern Turks, Tang Gaozong Xianqing for four years, and Tang destroyed the Western Turks, and the rest of them had to move west. However, during the period of Wu Zetian after Wu, the Later Eastern Turkic Empire was established again. It existed during the Tang Xuanzong period in our Central Plains, and finally died in the Uighurs, that is, the Uighur kingdom to the west of us. ”
Mei Yulong said: "After the Turks died in the country, the people of insight in their clan were not willing, and they were determined to seek to restore the country. At first, the headquarters was located on the edge of Tianchi on the north slope of Bogda Peak in the Tianshan Mountains, and then because it was in a corner, the people were not prosperous, and the development did not flourish for many years. It is closer to the Central Plains, densely populated, everyone is martial, it is much easier for the Restoration Church to spread the doctrine and develop the congregation, and because the Restoration Church has the financial and human support of the Khazar Khanate Jewish Headquarters, it can open the door of almsgiving, and that period is the period of our Central Plains Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, continuous wars, fires and disasters, the people are like duckweed, and human life is not better than grass mustard, so there are a large number of Han people who fled outside the fortress to believe in religion, among which there are many people who are quite strong in martial arts, which have been passed down for more than 100 years, and have become the first major religion in the Western Regions. ”
Li Yihang listened attentively and asked, "What is the doctrine of the Guangfu Sect?" Mei Yulong said: "The Guangfu Sect believes in Judaism, and as for what the doctrine is, we don't know very well, and the Turkic patriarchs in the sect may know some." Zuo Shen said: "The Khazar Khanate mentioned by Mei Zuo's envoy just now is actually the Eastern Turkic Empire, they regarded Judaism as the state religion at that time, and its border is mainly located in the west of the Green Mountains, 108,000 miles away from us, but the land of their empire is barren and dry for many years, how can we have rich products and fertile pastures in the Helan Mountains, the Hetao Corridor, and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains? The word Guangfu comes from this. ”
Li Yihang said: "Since you are not leading the battle for the Turks, why do you want to try to dominate the world's martial arts?" Mei Yulong said: "The main reason is that the martial arts in the Central Plains are not united, such as a plate of scattered sand, each fighting for itself, and my strong enemy Khitan in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia who rebelled in the west, and the Tubo tribes are also eyeing the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Li Yihang couldn't help laughing, and said: "What Envoy Mei Zuo has done in recent years has not only not harmed my great Song Dynasty and the common people of the world, but has greatly benefited him?" Zuo Shen said: "The intention and starting point of our religion are indeed beneficial and harmless, but the process and methods are somewhat radical and deviant, and they do not pay attention to propaganda, which has caused misunderstanding of us by everyone and all parties. ”
Mei Yulong said: "Yes, I have issued an order to regulate everyone's words and deeds, and no longer use violent means to collect other factions." Brother Li, you have a great reputation in the Central Plains martial arts, and you have joined our sect, which can play a good role in leading and demonstrating, and it is easier for you to talk to them about naturalization and enlightenment, and they will be easier to understand and accept, which can be said to be like a fish in water, then our move to unite the world's martial arts to create a great cause is just around the corner. The Great Song Dynasty has to learn from our martial arts to help us, and we will be able to protect the society for a long time. ”
Li Yihang said in his heart: "Hearing what you said, it is really more beautiful than singing, but unfortunately among these ten sentences, I don't know how many of them are true, if I don't know too much about your Restoration Sect, maybe I will really be confused by you and go astray, but in the current situation, I can't be too resistant, otherwise I will anger you, and the ending will definitely be tragic." He nodded, as if in deep thought.
Zuo Shen said: "Little brother, you have such a master cultivation at a young age, your ambitions must be vast, after you join my sect, the future is even more limitless, and it is not impossible to be the head of the sect," Mei Yulong said: "It's not just impossible, but a great possibility! The little brother's intelligence and martial arts, the huge power of the Guangfu Sect, combined, it must be like a tiger with wings, complement each other, invincible, we will be able to unify the world's martial arts, support the Great Song Dynasty, and consolidate the country's society." ”
Li Yihang listened to the two of them sing and harmonize, but he couldn't think of any excuse for refusal, even if he found it, what was the use, and in the end it was not a death? Looking at the eyes of the three of them, their eyes were full of ardent expectation, waiting for themselves to express their position. He pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Mei Zuo Envoy, Zuo Dragon King, the kindness of the two of you, I feel deeply in the bottom line, just joining the Guangfu Sect is a very important decision, and it is definitely not a decision that can be made in a moment, please allow me to think about it carefully." ”
