Chapter 41: Emei

Mount Emei is located in Qianwei County, Yizhou, south of Chengdu, the northernmost part of the mountain range is about 180,000 miles away from Chengdu, much farther than Qingcheng.

Emei and Qingcheng are the two giants of Yizhou, and the warriors associated with these two immortal martial sects have almost reached more than one-third of the Yizhou martial artists, and the high-level forces above the potential realm are even more than half.

Different from Mount Emei in the previous life of Baiya, that Mount Emei is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains, and the Yizhou Taoism of this world is prosperous.

Qingcheng Dazong has a pavilion, two caves and five views, and Emei also has Taoist sects such as Chunyang Palace, Jiulao Cave, Sanxiao Cave, Lingtian Pavilion, as well as Fuhu Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Huazang Temple and other Buddhist sects.

Compared with Qingcheng, Emei because of the coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism, so the worship is more varied, at the beginning of the establishment of the sect also in order to establish who is the first generation of the patriarch infighting for hundreds of years.

To this day, the major sects of Emei do not have a unified first generation of ancestors, so they have to separate their ancestors with their own Taoist systems.

Among these Buddhist and Taoist patriarchs, the Pure Yang Hall Patriarch Tianzhen Emperor has the greatest origin, this is an ancient immortal who obtained the extreme path during the pre-Tribulation Cultivation Period. It is rumored that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor once went to Emei to ask, in the pure Yang Hall Song Huangping to ask the innocent emperor about the way of the true one, and gave the "Lingbao Sutra".

This matter is clearly recorded in Taoist classics such as "Hug Puzi", "Yun Ji Seven Signs", "Three Emperors Sutra", "Zhenwen Jing", "Yuanqi Theory", "Tai Yishu" and other Taoist classics.

In addition to this ancient immortal, the reputation of the ancestors of other sects in Emei is not small, and the Nine Old Caves are the cultivation place of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon Tiger Xuantan True Monarch.

This true monarch's surname is Zhao Minglang, the word Gongming, one of the four protector marshals of Taoism, and the people worship as the God of Wealth. However, he actually has nothing to do with the god novel.

Sanxiao Cave is the practice place of Zhao Gongming's three junior sisters, Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao.

As for Ling Tian Pavilion, it is also known as the White Ape Dojo, and the ancestor is a moving spirit son who calls himself "Ape Gong". The common name of the moving spirit is Bai Shikou, the word clothes are three, and the Situ Xuankong in the pre-Qin period.

Because he once imitated the form of the white ape in Mount Emei, he created the white ape swordsmanship (that is, the ape swordsmanship) and the white ape through the arm fist, and liked to wear a white coat, so he was called the white ape ancestor.

It is rumored that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yue Nu rushed to the court at the call of Goujian, the king of Yue, and met the white ape to stop the competition.

The ape broke a bamboo with his bare hands, removed the ends of the bamboo branches, and used the bamboo pole as a sword. The Yue Nu picked up the end of the bamboo branch that was thrown on the ground by the ape, and used it as a sword to fight with the ape's bamboo pole.

Yue Nu guarded three moves, and then fired back with one move. The ape was stabbed by the end of a bamboo branch, so he flew up the tree and turned into a white ape and fled.

Of course, legends are legends, and whoever dares to pretend to be in front of Ling Tiange's people will definitely be beaten out of the dog's brain. The people of Ling Tiange are all saying that the world is wrong, and the Yue Nu did not defeat the White Ape Gong at all, on the contrary, the Yue Nu swordsmanship was taught by the White Ape Gong.

In fact, in terms of sword skills alone, Ling Tiange's loss to the Yue Nu Sword Sect was really nothing to be ashamed of.

The Yue Nu Sword is the head of the three major sword schools in Shenzhou, although it is now divided into two veins of Wu and Yue, but no matter which of them is taken out, it can easily beat the remaining two factions of the three major sword schools in Shenzhou.

The southern fencing technique as a whole surpasses the north, and Wu Yue's sword cultivation is even if he reaches the Huashan faction, which is the strongest in the northern swordsmanship, and he can easily shout "I want to fight ten" when he competes with sword skills alone.

In addition to these Taoist patriarchs in Emei, the most famous Buddhist patriarch is the monk Tan Luan.

As for Emei, a Taoist-based Xianwu sect, why did Tan Luan default to be one of the ancestors, there is also an allusion to this.

When Buddhism was first introduced to Middle-earth, monks had no luck to practice health and other health practices, and the same was true of the Buddhist sects on Mount Emei.

Later, the monk Tan Luan got the Taoist celebrity Tao Hongjing to pass down the ten volumes of the immortal scriptures, and learned to "breathe, guide, sit and forget, fast, keep one" and so on.

Because the monk Tanluan and Buddhism are all cultivated, he was regarded as one of the patriarchs by default by the Emei faction.

Mount Emei is the seventh cave of the 36 caves of heaven blessed land in Shenzhou, and it is also one of the eight Taoist sects that have entered the world like the Qingcheng faction.

However, the Emei faction is far away from Chengdu, so it is less affected by Chengdu, and the largest cities around it are Nan'an City and Guan'e City.

The Emei mountains are different from Qingcheng, Qingcheng Mountain winds like a dragon, and is known as Wanli Qingcheng. However, the topography of Mount Emei is tightly clustered like flowers, and it is divided into four mountain ranges, such as Da'e, Er'e, San'e, and Si'e.

Dae is the main vein of Emei, Emei Mountain in the narrow sense refers to Dae Mountain, and the two veins of Emei and Dae are opposite, looking at it from afar, the twin peaks are ethereal, like a thrush, and the name of Emei comes from this.

The two major mountain ranges of Da'e and Er'e are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the rain is slight. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, majestic and beautiful, and the clouds and mist in the mountains are thousands, and Emei is embellished gracefully.

At the foot of Er'e Mountain is Guan'e City, which is different from the town under Qingcheng Mountain, Guan'e City can be regarded as a big city in Yizhou, and the population of the surrounding moats has a total of more than 100,000 households, exceeding 300,000 people.

Of course, this population cannot be compared with the city of five or six million in Baiya's previous life, but in this world where human beings have no dominance and are surrounded by wild and barbaric regions, Guan'e City is already a large city with a fairly dense population.

Today, in front of the gate of Guan'e City, there is a group of "beggars" wearing hundreds of clothes and holding dog-beating sticks in line to enter the city.

There were about 20 people in this group of "beggars", all of them young and middle-aged, with five carts of four horses, and the goods on the carts were neatly bundled and piled up like a hill. This cart is powered by four giant rhinoceros beasts and is often used for cargo transportation.

Although there are various means of transportation between various parts of Shenzhou, such as teleportation talisman arrays, flywheel treasure ships, and flying ferries, affordable animal-powered vehicles are still indispensable.

The two modes of transportation, the teleportation array and the flywheel treasure ship, are too expensive and are basically only used for long-distance passenger transportation. The flyer of the Great Post Road can be used for both cargo and passengers, and the transportation volume is also very large.

However, the ferry was limited by the route and station of the underground tunnel, and many cities along the way needed to be transferred, so short-distance transportation based on animal-powered vehicles was born. The animal power of these carts is not that of cattle and horses, but of a hybrid of brute beasts and cattle and horses that are long in endurance.

Although the speed is a little slower and cannot reach the level of traveling thousands of miles a day, it is no problem to travel hundreds of miles a day, which can meet the needs of short-distance transportation.

Merchants across China generally turn to dart bureaus when consigning valuable goods, while transporting bulk goods such as grain, cloth, pig iron, and coal can only rely on animal-powered carts and river boats.

These two industries have a long history in China, and because of the nature of their industries, there are many Jianghu sects that make a living from them. Such as: the Yangtze River water system, the Jiangnan water system, the Yellow River water system, the Yellow River water system, and the Lotus Hall that Baiya had been in contact with before, etc.

Because of their vast geographical distribution, these gangs are loosely organized, and there may be many people in power such as gang leaders and hall masters, and they generally rely on counties and cities to divide specific territories.

The ordinary gangs in the gang are basically coolies at the lowest level of society, they do not practice martial arts, but only sell their labor to make a living.

However, there is also a force department in the gang that is responsible for external expeditions, similar to the Zongmen Wutang.

After thousands of years of development, the foundation of these gang martial arts is still good, but the martial arts they cultivate are all kinds of things, and they are not as systematic as the martial arts of the hundred schools of thought.

The group of "beggars" who appeared in Guan'e City were not really beggars, they were the Luoliantang gang in the south of Yizhou, and their headquarters were in Wuyang City, the county of Qianwei County.

This time, they were entrusted by a cloth company in Wuyang to transport goods to Guan'e City.

The leader of the gang was a strong man of about fifty years, although he was not young, his arms were thick and powerful, his eyes were bright, his beard was black, and he did not look old at all, like a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The strong man paid the gate fee to the gatekeeper of Guan'e City, then turned back to the convoy and smiled at a young man beside him: "Brother Nie, this is Guan'e City, do you want to wait with me after entering the city?"

The young man, known as Brother Nie by the strong man, was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a yellow face and a sickly face, and was the only one in the team who did not wear a hundred clothes and carried a dog-beating stick.

"Thank you for your care, thanks to the brothers' support all the way, why don't you let the younger brother be the boss after entering the city, how about you please have a drink?"

"Haha, since Brother Nie said so, I'm not welcome. The strong man happily patted the young man on the shoulder.

With a smile on his face, the young man looked at Guan'e City in front of him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

After entering the city, the goods were handed over, and the young man surnamed Nie really invited a group of Luoliantang men to a big meal, so that everyone returned satisfied.

After paying the wine bill, the young man opened a wing room in the inn. It's just that when he entered the room, he was a sick man with a bad complexion, but when he came out in the evening, he became a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and an ordinary appearance.

This person is naturally Bai Ya, who ran away from home in Qingcheng half a month ago, he did not go to the trouble of the Chengdu Wu clan, but came directly to the foot of Emei.

One is because Bai Ya knows that Wu Zhen is not in Chengdu Wu's family, and he must have returned to Emei. The other is also to avoid Liu Yu and Xuan Ji and others. He is now clearly going to come out to seek revenge, if he goes to trouble the Wu family, I am afraid that he will be arrested by Xuan Ji before he reaches the door of the people's house.

Originally, there was no identity certificate, and it was difficult for Bai Ya to leave from the Chengdu boundary, but fortunately, the old beggar surnamed Tong in Luolian Hall before still had the bronze medal of "Shang Zhi" given to him, so he was able to escape smoothly.

Even so, Baiya was still cautious along the way, and after teleporting to Wuyang City in Qianwei County, he used the bronze medal of "Shangzhi" to join the prince's convoy and followed all the way to Guan'e City.

Thanks to the loose organization of the Luolian Hall in various places, the people in the convoy did not suspect Bai Ya's identity, and accepted this "helper" from Longxi County very righteously, allowing him to avoid heavy interrogation.

A few days later, the remodeled White Cliff appeared in the grain store in Guan'e City and became a temporary grain store partner.
