Chapter VII Two years
Shi Fan took Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji to return to the Central Plains while helping Zhang Wuji detoxify, and in the blink of an eye, a few months passed, and Zhang Wuji was completely cold and poisonous, as if he had been reborn.
"Wuji, the Xuanying cold poison on your body has been completely expelled, and our fate is also over, this place is not far from Wudang, you and I will say goodbye, right?" Shi Fan said with a smile, there is no banquet in the world, but now it is time to part ways with Zhang Wuji, and there is no sadness between the words.
Zhang Wuji couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, "Brother Shi, you and I just met in Pingshui, but you treated me so well! At first, I thought that you were the same as those Jianghu people for the whereabouts of my father-in-law, but until now you haven't mentioned half a point, and the heart of a villain is a gentleman's belly, and you are really ashamed to ......."
Shi Fan smiled: "Mowgli, don't be like this." You kept your promise at a young age and took you to find your father without regrets, this kind of righteous act really makes my heart break my heart, and with such a heart, how can I see death and not save it? Okay, don't look like this anymore, you have grown up, and a man bleeds without tears! Go back quickly, your master must be worried about you all these years, go and report peace! By the way, help me bring a message to your master's master' My Shi Fan admires Zhang Zhenren's martial arts attainments very much, and when my martial arts go further, I will come to ask him for advice!"
Zhang Wuji was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't care about being sad, and said in surprise: "Brother Shi, you want to challenge my master?"
Shi Fan shook his head: "It's just about the Tao, the martial arts have reached the level of Zhang Zhenren, if you want to see more beautiful scenery, the best way is to have Taoist friends sit and discuss the Tao, and discuss the unknown martial arts together! It's a pity that now I still owe some martial arts, and it's not enough to discuss the Tao with Zhang Zhenren, so let you tell me first, and when I'm ready, I'll go to Wudang to see you!"
Zhang Wuji seems to understand whether he understands or not, with his current cultivation knowledge, he can't understand Shi Fan's mentality, but he finally understands that this big brother Shi's cultivation is really unfathomable, presumably even if he is not as good as his master, how can he say this?
Zhang Wuji thanked Shi Fan again, and then thanked Zhiruo for helping him protect the Dharma all the way, and finally turned around and left.
Zhiruo still looked cold, unmoved, and watched Zhang Wuji leave.
Shi Fan sighed at this time: "Zhiruo, your temperament is getting colder and colder now...... If this continues, how can you get married?"
There were no outsiders beside him, Zhiruo's beautiful face was like an iceberg thawing, and she smiled and said, "Master, why are you always like this, do you dislike Zhiruo?"
Shi Fan shook his head and smiled: "Okay, then you can go~~~ Go on the road alone for the teacher!"
Zhiruo had long been accustomed to Shi Fan's occasional funny, and pretended to be annoyed when she heard the words: "Hmph! people don't want to go~~~" After saying that, she turned around and didn't look at Shi Fan, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, she now felt that there was no such outstanding man in the world except for the master, but she was reluctant to leave the master~~~
Seeing this, Shi Fan smiled bitterly and said: "It's over, I decided not to accept female disciples in the future~~~ Even Zhiruo looks like a child, am I teaching apprentices or engaging in apprentice cultivation~~~" There was Qu Feiyan in front of him, and Zhou Zhiruo in the back, Shi Fan secretly decided not to accept female apprentices again, especially beautiful apprentices!
The two of them teased as they walked, and walked towards the land of the Central Plains, now there are still two years before the six major factions go to Wudang, but Shi Fan is planning to take a good stroll, and by the way, find a way to push the Jiuyang Divine Skill to Dacheng, and then you can try to let the Wuxiang True Qi and the Jiuyang True Qi merge with each other.
Now Shi Fan's body has no phase true qi and the slightly inferior Jiuyang true qi is clearly distinguished, and the well water does not violate the river water, and they are on one side like the river water, as if Chu and Han are relatively average, and they get along calmly for the time being, but Shi Fan can't go all out, otherwise the consequences of causing a conflict between the two true qi will be unimaginable!
Entering the Central Plains, Shi Fan and Zhiruo's lungs were about to explode!
The Yuan court has no way, and the people of the Central Plains under the mediocre rule are miserable!
In order to maintain the autocratic rule of the Mongol aristocracy, the Yuan Dynasty adopted the policy of "dividing the people into four classes" and divided the people of the whole country into four classes: first-class Mongols, second-class Semu people, third-class Han people, and fourth-class southerners. This policy upheld the privileges of the Mongol nobility, and the Mongols were the first among the classes.
The Semu people ranked second after the Mongols, mainly referring to the people of the Western Regions, who were the first to be conquered by the Mongols, such as the Kipchak, Tang Wu, Wu'er, Huihui, etc., in addition, some of the earlier tribes around the Mongolian Plateau also belonged to the Semu people, such as the Wanggu tribe.
The Han people are the third class, referring to the Han, Khitan, Jurchen and other ethnic groups in the territory of the former Jin Kingdom north of the Huai River, as well as the people of Sichuan, Yunnan (Dali) who were conquered by the Mongols later, and the Goryeo people in the northeast are also Han people.
The Nanren are the fourth class, referring to the ethnic groups in the former Southern Song Dynasty (people south of the Huai River excluding the Sichuan region) who were finally conquered by the Mongols.
In this division, for example, it is stipulated that Han people are not allowed to form associations, assemblies, and worship gods collectively, and Han people are forbidden to hide weapons privately (for example, only several families can share a kitchen knife), and Mongolians need to pay for their lives when they are killed by Han Chinese, while Mongolians only need to "go out on a war with punishment and burn all the silver" because of a dispute or drunkenness. If the Han people are soldiers, they are not allowed to serve as guards, and if they are officials, they can often only serve as deputy second.
Genghis Khan once stipulated that killing a Mongol would pay for his life, and killing a Semu person would be fined 40 bales of gold (one bali was about equivalent to two taels of silver), and killing a Han Chinese would only require the payment of a donkey. In the event of a conquest war, the differential treatment is even worse than in peacetime.
In 1286, in order to attack Annam, horses were requisitioned from all over the country, and only two of the three horses of the Semu people were levied, while all the horses of the Han people, no matter how many. After that, horses were constantly recruited, and every time this happened, the horses of the Han people became treasures. The Mongolian government has strict regulations: it is forbidden for Han people to hunt, it is forbidden for Han people to learn boxing martial arts, it is forbidden for Han people to hold weapons, it is forbidden for Han people to gather and worship gods, it is forbidden for Han people to rush to the market to buy and sell, and it is forbidden for Han people to walk at night. The heads of local governments above the "first master" level are all Mongolians. When the Mongols did not have enough distribution, or the Central Asians had enough bribes, the Central Asians took the position.
Most of the Mongolian officials were hereditary, and every Mongolian chief, such as the governor and county magistrate, governed a state or county under his jurisdiction, which was his feudal fief, and the Han people were his serfs, and they had no political responsibility, let alone legal responsibility, for the Han people. But in fact, it is not applicable to many Haoqiang.
The Great Khan of Mongolia could at any time treat the Han people as his life's farmland, and together with the Han people on the farmland, reward them like slaves to the emperor's relatives, princesses, or meritorious heroes. In a reward held after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the few rewarded dozens of hundreds of households, and the many rewarded 100,000 households. Each household was counted as five, and 500,000 serfs were given at a time. The Han people suddenly lost the farmland they had inherited from their ancestors, and they themselves were suddenly reduced from free peasants to serfs, with no place to appeal. The Mongols, who were free to encroach on the farmland, often abruptly drove the Han Chinese from the fertile farmland, leaving the farmland barren and growing weeds for animal husbandry.
And this kind of rule was even more cruel to the Han people in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the six major factions in the martial arts only cared about fighting to the death with the Ming Sect, and they had no consciousness at all. On the contrary, it is Mingjiao, which has been playing a role in resistance since the Fangla Uprising in history, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, whose original trajectory was Mingjiao in the world of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, led the Mingjiao congregation to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Han people!
Shi Fan and Zhiruo were in the Central Plains, and found that there were scenes of Mongols oppressing the Han people everywhere, like when they heard about the injustice of the female Dou E in Chuzhou, Zhiruo was furious, and directly killed the culprit Zhang Donkey and the peach pestle of the local government in one fell swoop, and passed on a set of martial arts to Dou E to defend himself.
The two of them have been chivalrous all the way, and the name of chivalry has spread to the rivers and lakes, known as the two heroes in white!
Shi Fan and Zhiruo were speechless when they heard this nickname, especially Shi Fan, and even complained: "I don't know who gave Gongzi me a nickname, it's really cheesy!
Zhiruo felt a little Jiujiu in her heart: Oh, I am called Shuangxia with Master~ Hehe, it seems to be quite happy~~~
In the blink of an eye, two years flew by, and the six major factions such as Shaolin began to plan to attack the Mingjiao Guangming Peak. Shi Fan took Zhiruo all the way to Kunlun, and the curtain was about to open......
PS: Everyone should have heard the story of Dou E's injustice, it is not symmetrical in time and space, just borrow it here, don't take it seriously~~~
