Chapter 222 Let's clear the rivers and lakes

After leaving the main hall, all the way to a quiet courtyard at the back, Zhang Sanfeng turned his head, looked at Zhao Yu with burning eyes, and said with a sigh: "If you can change your evil and return to righteousness, it will be the blessing of my righteous martial arts." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "There is an unborn strange person like Zhang Zhenren, this martial arts blessing is enough, and if there are more, it may not be able to stand it, and it is not worthy." ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Why do you want Wuji to be the head of the Wudang Sect? If I don't agree, the Ming Sect will stand by and watch this time in the martial arts disaster? You are threatening me, young man." ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "It does mean so." If the Ming Sect stands by and watches, the martial arts will be in a catastrophe. The elites of each faction fell in a battle, and their relatives and friends were bound to throw themselves into the net like moths to the fire in order to save them. The Yuan court could have detained these hostages, attracted the remnants of the martial arts one by one, and eradicated them. Grandmasters like Zhang Zhenren, who can be obtained in the world, are a minority after all. Besides, even if Zhang Zhenren personally went to the rescue, how many people could be saved? This is a big gamble that is bound to fail, and you are reluctant to lose what you have already lost, and then lose more, and lose completely, and there is no possibility of reversing it. ”

Zhang Sanfeng said with a complicated expression: "You can't bear to watch the entire martial arts go to destruction?"

Zhao Yu didn't answer him, but said: "More than twenty years ago, a strange person appeared in the land of Susong, an old woman. This old woman had a bad fate, she was exiled in a foreign land when she was young, and only in her twilight years did she have to return to her roots, and returned to her hometown of Wunijing, Songjiang Prefecture, to teach people spinning and weaving. As a result, Songjiang Mansion cotton spinning Dachang, clothes are all over the world, and tens of millions of families have benefited from it. This old woman surnamed Huang, has Zhang Zhenren heard of it?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, but praised sincerely: "This is really an amazing old woman!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "It's not just that Zhang Zhenren hasn't heard of it, many people in this world, including me, didn't know about this old woman before. Last year, when a group of displaced people were resettled in Chuzhou, I went to the weaving workshop to inspect it, and only by chance did I hear about this deed, and I knew that this old woman was like a fairy in the hearts of Jiangnan weavers. I was a little curious. Such an ordinary old woman. But teaching some textile tricks is neither a splendid moral article nor a peerless and amazing martial arts, so it is worth worshipping like this?"

"Later. I have someone collecting the story of this old woman. Fang knew that this was a good deed. The people in Songjiang have their old age, their strength is useful, and their youth are grown. Widows, widows, lonely and sick people are all supported! This is a realm that no saint has reached, and it is really a peach and plum that does not speak for itself, and it is a miracle of its own! Not only the people of the land have benefited, but also the people of the world! Such an old woman has done great deeds for the world, and she is ashamed of how many seven feet of high wealth in the world!

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this deed, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Zhao Yu said again: "Such a saint-like old woman is ignored, even if a martial arts that has nothing in the world is destroyed, what does it matter? A group of people in the rivers and lakes who can't help the world, can't retreat, flies and dogs, and have a boring life, even if they all die, what harm will they do to the world?"

"Zhang Zhenren, you look up at the vast blue sky, but the rivers and lakes under your feet are too small after all. When the rivers and lakes are small, people's hearts will be narrow-minded, and they will be willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for all kinds of inexplicable reasons. What martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon, what demon removal and defense road, the battle between good and evil, deserve to be fed, deserve to be clothed? Such a boring river and lake, don't do it. ”

He saw Zhang Sanfeng's eyes showing a deep expression, and continued: "This river and lake is a pool of stagnant water, and people's hearts are soaked in dirt, even if there are sudden ripples, but they are becoming more and more turbid. Otherwise, when I was in the Western Regions, the various factions would not have played a fool of myself because I borrowed the name of Zhang Gongzi. Otherwise, the disciples Yu Sanxia and Zhang Wuxia would not have fallen into this step. When I say this, does Zhang Zhenren think it's right or not?"

Hearing Zhao Yu mention the pain of his skin, a trace of gloom flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, and he said with a little self-deprecation: "Lao Dao has been immersed in the rivers and lakes for most of his life, but he is not as good as you, a junior, who has a thorough understanding of the rivers and lakes. I don't know if you're right or not, but I can't refute it. ”

Zhao Yu said: "Zhang Zhenren is a real cultivator, the more he practices, the more indifferent he becomes, he should walk in the mountains and forests, free and uninhibited." If there is a bond, it will be difficult to get rid of it. This Wudang sect is your fetters, your demons, and your karma. I am a latecomer, but it is difficult for a mediocre person in the world to get a glimpse of Zhang Zhenren's heart, but I can also understand that as long as there is a Wudang faction, Zhang Zhenren is rarely truly pure and comfortable. ”

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned and said: "What you said is right, clean and comfortable, easy to speak, but it is not easy to let go." ”

Therefore, I dared to persuade Zhang Zhenren that instead of being uncomfortable in it, it is better to take a step back and watch from the wall. You are in the middle of it, and if you have a good heart, it is difficult to spread it, and if you take a step back, you will be able to do it easily. ”

Zhao Yu carefully looked at the change in Zhang Sanfeng's expression, and said slowly: "Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water." This narrow river and lake must be broken and then erected, attracting a turbulent clear stream to wash away the silt and dirt that has been deposited for thousands of years. If we continue like this, it will only get more and more stinky!"

Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Zhao Yu thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "So, you hope that Wuji can be the head of the Wudang Sect, so what is the source of living water that you hope for?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "I am not born to know, I can only see the walking steps, but I can't predict which step I can take." However, it shouldn't get worse than it is now. The current martial arts, survival depends on one shot, and the destruction is only a stone's throw away, if you want to change, it is the moment of the lowest cost. Even if you really take a wrong step, it is still a doom. If you go right, even if it's just a good line, it's much stronger than it is now. ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, was silent for a long time, and then smiled after a while: "You young man, you are really amazing." Originally, Lao Dao planned to eliminate the anger in your heart, but he didn't expect that he had been moved by what you said. However, it is not easy to get the old way to promise you. You have to get the people from the cages of the factions out of the cage, and then talk about anything else. ”

Zhao Yu smacked his lips and sighed: "I speak dryly, it can't be said that I am ruthless and sincere, even I am excited, but you are an old way but only draw me an empty cake, how can this be reasonable! You have to make an order for me first, otherwise, everyone will break up." You go to save your apprentice, and I will fight my world. ”

Zhang Sanfeng pointed at Zhao Yu and sneered: "You are also a scholar, from a family, but you don't know the truth of respecting the elderly, gamblers generally deal with me here." You have a good idea, you have cheated my disciples and grandchildren in the Western Regions, and when you turn back to the Central Plains, you will use them as collateral and you want to trick me again! Although the old way is old, you are not confused! You have to persuade me, don't mention it with red mouth and white teeth, and show your sincerity!"

Zhao Yulang laughed and said, "Although your old man is famous in the martial arts, the friendship between us has not yet reached the level of disregarding interests. If you can't trust me, how can I trust you. To tell you the truth, my current situation is not wonderful, the road back to Chuzhou is still dangerous, and I have no energy or plan to take Mingjiao up to save those people. ”

After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, his face sank, and he said: "Since you have no intention and no power, do you want to find someone happy when you come to Wudang Mountain?"

This is not necessarily the case, but it is to point out a clear way for Zhang Zhenren. If each faction wants to return safely, the only way to save it is to save itself. However, in the end, how to save it, we have to come up with a charter, and we will only increase the casualties if we run into it in a mess. In my opinion, it is better to gather the remaining forces of the various factions and organize an alliance to help themselves, so that it is not considered weak. ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "With Zhang Zhenren's reputation in the rivers and lakes, he naturally responds to all calls, and he can quickly gather a large number of people, which can be regarded as a fight." Although Mingjiao stayed out of the matter, he was still competent to inquire and pass on the news. If necessary, I can even send out the captive army to form a coercive situation, so that the Yuan court cannot flexibly mobilize the army as a support. However, now there is no reason for Mingjiao to help you. ”

Zhang Sanfeng snorted coldly: "Let Wuji be the head of the Wudang faction, you will have a reason?"

Zhao Yu laughed dryly and said: "Zhang Shaoxia is the grandson of my Eagle King and the righteous son of the Lion King. However, I also know that suddenly letting Zhang Shaoxia take on a heavy responsibility is difficult for some strongmen and difficult to convince the public. Zhang Zhenren can take a step forward, and first establish Zhang Shaoxia as the acting head or head candidate of the Wudang faction, whether he can become the head in the future depends on his own skills and creation. ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, no matter how high his cultivation was, he couldn't help but scold: "Bastard, you want to provoke my Wudang faction to fight!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said: "Zhang Zhenren is serious, with your high mountain in charge, what kind of chaos can you fight? Assuming that one day you are gone, you won't be able to control so much." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but you can't take care of them for thousands of generations! This is a simple and profound exchange, and how to make a choice depends on Zhang Zhenren to weigh it himself!"

Zhang Sanfeng said angrily: "Do I have to pick it up?"

After Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled, but he was embarrassed to say: "The Wudang faction is deeply rooted in Huguang, can you arrange a proper way, and let us pass Xu Shouhui's territory safely first? That old boy wants to replace me, this is his base camp, if I fight hard, I will suffer a little." ”

Zhang Sanfeng pointed at Zhao Yu, blew his beard, and brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued......)
