During the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, there was neither the doctrine of righteousness nor the name of the demonic path, only the simplest distinction between good and evil.

However, in order to use Confucianism to fool the people and maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty's royal family, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's policy of deposing the hundred schools of thought by respecting Confucianism.

Since then, Confucianism has become the only righteous way in the world, and all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought have become evil sects.

And among the hundreds of schools of thought at that time, there were ten sects that were unwilling to be cut off by the inheritance of the Taoist system to form the original Demon Gate.

The first Demon Gate Saint Monarch [Heavenly Demon] Cangxuan collected all kinds of strange classics, and finally removed the turnips and preserved the essence, which was summarized into ten volumes of [Heavenly Demon Strategy].

However, under the blow of the rulers of the Han Dynasty, the Demon Gate was divided and fled everywhere, resulting in the dispersion and loss of the [Heavenly Demon Strategy], and even two of the ten sects that built the Demon Gate at the beginning disappeared in the long river of history.

Nowadays, two of the two factions of the Demon Sect and the Six Sects refer to the Yin Sect and the Flower Sect.

The six realms are the Evil Extreme Sect, the Extinguishing Feelings Dao, the True Preaching Dao, the Mending Heaven Dao, the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the Demon Xiang Sect.

Among them, the true preaching is divided into two branches: the true transmission of the ancestors and the Laojunguan.

Although most of the Yin Sect are women, they are suspected to be from the female service industry.

However, because the Yin Sect has the essence of the [Heavenly Demon Strategy] [Heavenly Demon Secret], it occupies an important position in the Demon Gate.

The Flower Sect is a longitudinal family in the Demon Gate, and it has always been only one descendant, and it can only be male.

There is also a [Protector Venerable] who is responsible for guarding the texts in the sect, and must be a woman.

The Evil Extreme Sect originated from the authentic Mo family of the Holy Gate, and possessed the supreme mental method of the [Dao Heart Cultivation Demon Dafa], the Demon Gate, and the strange treasure of the [Evil Emperor Relic].

The Tao of Extinguishing Emotions is of the same origin as the Yin Sect, and it is suspected that it comes from the male service industry.

Mending Heaven Pavilion comes from the profession of assassin, and pays attention to [mending the deficiency of the sky].

The Heavenly Lotus Sect came from merchants, and in ancient times, the emphasis on agriculture over commerce led to the exclusion of merchants from the mainstream society.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect's mental method is based on the heart, and it is also an outlier in the Demon Gate.

The true tradition originates from ancient Taoism, which respects the art of collecting and replenishing men and women. Therefore, it was rejected by orthodox Taoism.

The origin of the Demon Xiangzong is mysterious, but the representatives of the Demon Xiangzong, Changsun Sheng and Zhao Deyan, one is a great Sui minister, and the other is an Eastern Turkic national teacher.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the enemies that the Demon Gate wanted to resist were the rulers of the Han Dynasty and the Confucianists who dominated the world.

But now, although the rulers of the Han Dynasty have disappeared into the long river of history. But the power of Confucianism has become so strong that the Demon Gate can no longer be shaken.

Moreover, in order to gain the support of Confucianism, the Buddhist sect headed by Cihang Jingzhai not only suppressed the demon gate instead of Confucianism, but also successfully obtained the righteous title of the head of the righteous path in the world.

On the other hand, the Demon Gate is not only so weak that even foreign religions such as Buddhism can't be defeated, but the people in the Demon Gate are willing to degenerate and do all the bad things, and they are no longer suppressed into evil sects by the rulers of the Han Dynasty, but genuine Demon Gates.

Although Yang Ming did not have a good impression of Confucianism and Buddhism, he wanted to restore the heyday of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. But this does not mean that Yang Ming does not plan to deal with the Demon Gate.

Although Yang Ming likes Wanwan, the descendant of the Yin Sect, and is an ally with Shi Zhixuan, the evil king at the head of the Demon Gate, but in his eyes, he just sees Wanwan as an ordinary girl, and Shi Zhixuan's identity in front of him is even more of a powerful minister Pei Ju.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no relationship between Yang Ming and the Demon Gate.

If Shi Zhixuan wanted to complete the great cause of unifying the Demon Gate, he naturally chose the location in his old nest, Bashu Chengdu.

Although the evil emperor did not come out of Yutian, the martial arts of the evil king Shi Zhixuan was the first person in the real Demon Gate. But Shi Zhixuan's prestige in the Demon Gate may not be comparable to that of Zhu Yuyan, the Queen of Yin.

Only the Demon Gate Conference was held in Chengdu. In order to ensure that after Shi Zhixuan dominates the Demon Gate, those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish.

One year into Yi, two years in Chengdu, because of the name of Chengdu.

In the autumn of the ninth year of King Huiwen of Qin during the Warring States Period, the King of Qin sent doctors Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to lead a large army to attack Shu and annex Shu County. Chengdu is the county.

The following year, the King of Qin accepted Zhang Yi's suggestion to build the county seat of Chengdu.

Throughout the past dynasties, the city was built by mountain hazards, or by water conservancy, only Chengdu has no danger to fear. There is no benefit to the boat.

And the site of the city is in a low-lying part of the plain, damp and rainy, and there are more swamps nearby, which can only be improved by manpower.

In order to build the city, the Shu people have dug a lot of soil around, and the place where the soil is taken forms a large pool, the famous willow pond in the west of the city, the Tianjing pond in the northwest, the ink washing pond in the north of the city, the long live pond and the Chitose pond in the east of the city, which can not only irrigate the fertile land, raise fish for food, but also can be used as a natural barrier on the east, west and north sides in wartime.

In addition, the Dujiangyan built by Li Bing, the reign of King Zhao of Qin, formed a unique water conservancy system, which solved the three major problems of flooding, irrigation and shipping in the Chengdu Plain in one fell swoop.

The circumference of Chengdu city is 12 miles, the wall is seven zhang high, and it is divided into two parts: Taicheng and Shaocheng. Taicheng is in the east, seven miles in Guangzhou, and Shaocheng is in the west, less than five miles.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Chengdu was the governor's office of Yizhou, and it was changed to Shu County.

Dacheng is the county governing body, the place where the people live, is the center of politics, Shaocheng is mainly a commercial area, the most famous is Nanshi, hundreds of craftsmen, rich merchants, peddlers and pawns, all operate and live here.

After Yang Ming arrived in Chengdu from Luoyang, he found that the entire Bashu martial arts was now about to come in a storm.

Because of the Demon Gate Conference to be held in Chengdu, many people in the rivers and lakes are worried that it will affect the pond fish and leave Bashu, and some people are brave enough to go to Chengdu to join in the fun.

When Yang Ming entered the city of Chengdu, he found that although the city was full of people from the Demon Gate, the people of Chengdu had not suffered any harm, and it seemed that most of the people in the Demon Gate were afraid of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, and did not dare to cause more trouble on Shi Zhixuan's territory.

Although Shi Zhixuan's Huajian faction and Mending Heaven Dao, which are also the heads of the sect, have not been very strong among the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate, and they are also thin, Shi Zhixuan's other identity is Pei Ju, an important minister of the dynasty, and the Wenxi Pei family is the head of the Kanto Gate Valve, so it can be said that Shi Zhixuan's officialdom strength is no less than that of the four major gates.

And although Shi Zhixuan himself does not have much power in the rivers and lakes, his younger brothers are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes.

For example, Cao Yinglong, the leader of the four great Kou who had tens of thousands of troops and almost defeated Pegasus Ranch and Jingling City, was one of Shi Zhixuan's younger brothers.

Shi Zhixuan's number one younger brother, Tianlian Sect Sect Master An Long, known as [Bashu Fat Jia], is the largest wine merchant in the southwest, and also concurrently engages in other businesses. It is the head of multiple guilds.

Moreover, Anlong's brother is Xie Hui, the [martial arts judge] who dominates Bashu, and Shi Zhixuan will regard Chengdu as his lair, the main reason is that Bashu is Anlong's territory.

Two years ago, Yang Ming sent Pei Ju and the general Chen Botu to lead an army to attack Bashu and killed Xie Hui, the lord of Duzun Fort, although for the sake of Xie Hui's son Xie Wenlong is Song Quan's son-in-law, he did not uproot the power of Duzun Fort. But now the strength of the Duzun Castle is not as strong as before.

Now the Bashu Martial Arts is ostensibly respected by the Duzun Fort, the Sichuan Gang and the Ba League, but in fact it is already the dominant Anlong family.

After Yang Ming inquired about An Long's residence in Chengdu City, he came directly to An Long's mansion.

As the largest merchant in Bashu and the real controller of Bashu martial arts, An Long's mansion in Chengdu City is luxurious and huge, no less than an ordinary prince's house.

Yang Ming wanted to ask An Long about Shi Zhixuan, so he naturally didn't bother to wait for An Long to meet him, so he sneaked directly into An Long's mansion and found a servant to ask where An Long was. Soon I found the bathhouse where Anlong rested.

Although this bathhouse is in Anlong's mansion, the scale is no less than those large bathhouses that are thriving.

Yang Ming sneaked in and saw the steaming heat in the bathhouse.

In the bath of the West Hall, An Long monopolized the two-zhang square bath, and more than a dozen bodyguards guarded the pool and various entrances and exits, and everyone had high temples and drums, all of which were not ordinary mediocre hands, so it was obvious that An Long's wealth was strong.

An Long is a big fat man. I don't know if the hands are particularly short because of too much fat. With a big belly, a flat head that looks like it grows directly from fat shoulders, and two thick lips, it is clear at a glance that he is a person who pays attention to eating, drinking and having fun.

The bath was overflowing to the slate floor of the pool's shore, raising doubts as to whether the water level had been caused by him.

At this moment he was next to the corner of the pool, and asked his men who were squatting by the pool to blow the flame for the tobacco of his hookah pipe. and then sent it to his mouth to let him [gurgling] swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, freehand and decadent to a feeling of falling.

If other people see An Long like this, I'm afraid they will think that he is a mediocre hand with ordinary martial arts.

But Yang Ming was keenly aware that An Long, a big fat man, had profound skills, and like Wanwan, he was the top master second only to the grandmaster.

Although An Long's more than ten bodyguards are all first-class masters who are not weak in martial arts. But they all add up, and I'm afraid that they are not the opponent of An Long's one hand.

"[Fat Jia] An Long ranks fifth among the eight masters of the Demon Gate, and it really deserves its reputation!"

Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded in the bathhouse, and more than a dozen bodyguards immediately turned around and looked at Yang Ming fiercely.

An Long's face also pretended to have a panicked expression, and he looked at Yang Ming with horror.

"Who is Your Excellency? If you don't want to be captured by An's bodyguards, please leave quickly!"

I have to say that the fat on An Long's body trembled, and he pretended to be scared like this.

"Sect Master An is so pretentious in front of me, it seems that I am going to tell Master Pei about you colluding with Yang Xuyan and wanting to kill Qing Xuan. ”

"You...... How did you know this?"

Hearing Yang Ming's words, An Long's eyes widened suddenly, but the fear in his eyes at this time was genuine.

Shi Zhixuan, an old thing, can even be a confidant like Zhu Yuyan who asks for nothing more can be pitted to death, and his ruthlessness can be imagined.

An Long is Shi Zhixuan's younger brother, if his conspiracy to collude with Yang Xuyan to assassinate Shi Qingxuan is known to Shi Zhixuan, keeping Shi Zhixuan can make him taste that life is worse than death.

The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up a sneer, strode over and stepped on the bath, looked at An Long and said.

"Sect Master An, if you don't want the good things you did to be known by Master Pei, don't lie in front of me. Let me ask you, where is that old thing in Shi Zhixuan now?"

"Old ...... Old thing?"

An Long was stunned and looked at Yang Ming in disbelief.

Hearing Yang Ming's mouthful of Pei Shi, he also thought that Yang Ming was a disciple accepted by Shi Zhixuan with the identity of Pei Ju.

But Yang Ming dared to call Shi Zhixuan [old thing], this is an absolute death, and he is simply tired of it.

Although Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan are both over seventy years old, they can indeed be called the word "old thing", but how can this be easily said.

Seeing An Long's gaze wandering, looking at himself as if he was looking at a dead person, Yang Ming said unhappily.

"Fat An, do you know where Shi Zhixuan is?"

An Long came back to his senses, and said with a smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth.

"Since Childe is Brother Shi's old acquaintance, An naturally knows everything, and Brother Shi is now waiting for the convening of the Demon Gate Conference in the secluded forest. ”

"The ...... of the Secluded Forest"

Yang Ming frowned and looked at An Long.

He is not familiar with Bashu and Chengdu, so he naturally doesn't know where the secluded forest is.

Moreover, the secluded forest building is still the hermitage of Shi Zhixuan and Bixiuxin, but I am afraid that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes do not know where the secluded forest building is.

"It seems that we are going to trouble Sect Master An to lead the way. Sect Master An, you are ready to take me to the secluded forest Xiaozhu!"

"Ah......h

Hearing Yang Ming's words, An Long couldn't help but show a bitter expression.

Although Yang Ming took a bite of [Sect Master An], this arrogant attitude was simply like treating him as a junior brother.

If it weren't for the speculation that Yang Ming might be Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, An Long would have wanted to do something with Yang Ming now.

"Okay! An has always been loyal to Brother Shi, since the son can use the old man, then the old man will be a pawn for the son. ”

Although he said it respectfully, An Long had already made up his mind in his heart.

If Yang Ming was not Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, he would definitely let this bold young man taste the consequences of playing with someone.

The secluded forest building is located in a hidden valley on the west bank of Sun Creek at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain in the north of Chengdu.

Yang Ming followed An Long through the maple forest, through the mountain gorge, the scenery changed suddenly, they walked quickly among the trees, the space was open, and a small stone house appeared, there was a gravel road next to the house to extend forward, the left and right curved were not in the depths of the forest, and the entrance to the small valley could not be seen.

The small building of the secluded forest finally appeared in front of you.

Looking at the small stone house in front of him, Yang Ming couldn't help but stop.

This small stone house should be the place where a generation of sword masters [Badao] Yueshan will end their lives.

Yue Shan was the world's first sword master before Song Que, and the old generation of evil masters.

After Zhu Yuyan was abandoned by Shi Zhixuan, she committed to Yue Shan in anger and gave birth to her daughter Shan Meixian, but unfortunately Yue Shan did not know the existence of this daughter.

Yue Shan's adopted daughter Mingyue is the mother of Shang Xiufang, the world's most talented woman.

Taiyuan Li Valve, the head of the four major valves, takes a lot of care of Shang Xiufang, because Shang Xiufang may be the illegitimate daughter of Li Yuan and Mingyue.

It is said that Li Yuan is Yue Shan's son-in-law, but before Yue Shan and Li Yuan broke up, Li Yuan was actually the younger brother who followed Yue Shan to mingle with the rivers and lakes.

In other words, Li Yuan, who has been digging the wall endlessly, has dug into his niece, and this niece is still the adopted daughter of her eldest brother.

Thinking about Li Yuan, who was in his early thirties at the time, he got his niece Mingyue in his prime, it seems that the name of Li Yuan, the knife who followed Yue Shan and mixed the rivers and lakes, should also be added to the Loli control of the world's masters of the rivers and lakes.

Later, the twenty-year-old sword genius Song Que was born, defeated Yue Shan at the age of a weak crown, became famous in a battle, Yue Shan was seriously injured, and went to the secluded forest in Shuzhong to seek medical treatment from Bi Xiuxin.

After Bixiu's mental death, Pei Ju didn't dare to face his daughter with Shi Zhixuan's identity, Shi Qingxuan was raised by Yue Shan when he was a child, but unfortunately Yue Shan died ten years ago, and he didn't wait for the opportunity to be ashamed of Song Que after all.

And after Yue Shan's death, Pei Ju, a coward, only visited the young Shi Qingxuan once.

But he didn't expect that now Shi Zhixuan would be able to muster up the courage to return to the secluded forest. (To be continued.) )
