This era of rivers and lakes, which belonged to Shaolin and Wudang, ended, and the era of Quanzhen Religion had just begun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Xu, who led the trend of the times, returned to Ryukyu Island to live a life of hot kang with his wife and children, and seemed to have forgotten all his pursuit of immortality and his desire for eternity.
In February of the eighth year of Jiajing, after several months of debate, the proposal to re-establish the city office was finally passed in the Ming Dynasty.
When the coastal gentry, whose interests were invaded/offended, colluded with the Japanese to give the imperial court a little color, the Ryukyu Island fleet, which had long been sharpened its sword, attacked brazenly, won three battles and three victories, and maintained its position as an overseas hegemon, and at the same time laid the foundation for the development of the work of the city's shipping department.
Under the deliberate propaganda of the Quanzhen Sect, the people of the coastal provinces have become more and more vocal about the opening of the sea ban. Seeing that the situation was not good, many officials quickly switched camps, and the prelude to the reform of the Ming Dynasty began.
In the tenth year of Jiajing, North Korea, Annam, Dongying, Siam and other countries and regions successively signed concessions with Daming and opened businesses.
The Ming Dynasty dumped goods on other countries through Lend-Lease and exploited cheap raw materials, and used it as a base to prepare for further colonization.
Ryukyu Island, Shinsen Port City.
In the back garden of the Lin Mansion, a handsome boy in his teens, dressed in a short shirt, was practicing a set of palm techniques.
Not far away, a group of young couples were watching carefully, and whispering from time to time that it was Cao Xu and Liu Jing.
The carving knife of the years did not leave any traces on the two of them. Although they are all nearly thirty years old, they are all twenty-three or fourteen years old.
At this time, the little boy finished a set of palm techniques, and ran over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Dad, mother, how is my mixed palm master?"
"Hao'er's palm technique is amazing. Liu Jing smiled softly, stretched out her hands, and hugged her son who ran over in her arms.
Cao Xu stretched out his hand and touched his son's head, and said, "Hao'er, dad wants to go out and do some things." You have to listen to your mother at home, and don't mess around. ”
"Got it, Dad. When Lin Hao heard this, his eyes gurgled, and he didn't know what the hell idea came to mind.
Seeing his son's performance, Cao Xu shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Liu Jing covered her mouth and chuckled.
Looking up in the direction of the capital, a cold light flashed in Cao Xu's eyes, after three years of development, the Ming Dynasty's sailors have begun to take shape and have combat effectiveness.
The honeymoon period between the island of Ryukyu, which had been outside the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the court in the capital had come to an end.
Although the Ryukyu Strait is a natural hazard, its geographical advantages are not as good as that of people, and since ancient times, there has been no natural hazard that cannot be overcome.
As a result, the development of Ryukyu Island had been halted three years earlier, and the focus of development had been shifted by Cao Xu to Luzon and Borneo in the South China Sea.
Ryukyu Island has now become a mere transit point.
The Ming court wants Ryukyu Island, it's not impossible, but what is Emperor Jiajing going to exchange for?
Just when Cao Xu was thinking about the problem, a beautiful woman in a light green shirt and a graceful demeanor came to the back garden with a baby in her arms.
"Sister, what do you say Xiang Gong is stupid and stupid?" said the green-shirted woman with a smile.
"No, you, why are you always like a child who hasn't grown up. Liu Jing said.
The green-shirted beauty/woman is Qu Feiyan, who married Cao Xu two years ago and gave birth to a daughter, who has not yet been named.
Cao Xu came back to his senses, hugged his little daughter from Qu Feiyan's arms, and gently rubbed his daughter's soft face.
A family of five was talking in the back garden, and soon it was getting dark.
The next day, Cao Xu boarded a ship bound for Quanzhou, and after a lapse of three years, returned to the Central Plains again.
did not delay in Quanzhou, Cao Xu traveled all the way to Fuzhou, came to the mountain gate of Huashan Sword Sect, and saw the wind clear.
In the past three years, Feng Qingyang has not tried to attack the innate realm, but because he is too old, and he has practiced sword and qi lightly all his life, so he ended up failing.
After seeing Cao Xu, when he talked about the congenital failure of the impact, the old man did not take this matter to heart. He is congenital, and he is more groping for the two of them.
In the past, the old way of the Sword Sect of emphasizing sword training and lightly practicing qi made it difficult for Cheng Bu and Cong Bu to abandon when they were impacting the innate nature. Feng Qingyang hoped to sum up some experience, so that the Huashan Sword Sect could add two innate masters.
For the choice of the wind clear, Cao Xu was in awe.
Think about it, he, the sect master of the Huashan Sword Sect, has been paying attention to the development of the Huashan Sword Sect over the years, but this is more of a grasp of the general direction, and in other aspects, he has done too little.
Cao Xu stayed at the mountain gate of Huashan Sword Sect for half a month.
In the past half a month, he began to annotate from the most basic Huashan boxing method Shiduanjin, to Huashan sword technique and Quanzhen Dao Song, and then to the wind fast sword, Xiyi sword technique, iron needle sword style and other superior swordsmanship, as well as Xuantian sword finger, wedding dress magic skill, innate power (the first volume is Jiuyang Divine Skill, the next volume is Tai Void Extreme Gong), Cao Xu left a complete set of cheats annotated by him personally.
After completing this matter, Cao Xu went all the way north to the capital.
Along the way, Cao Xu stopped and stopped, admired the beautiful scenery when he encountered it, and started a light ride when he was happy.
More than a month later, he came to the Baiyun Temple in the capital.
Lauderno, who had already gotten the news, was looking forward to it.
Three days later, Xiangxueju, Cao Xu and Emperor Jiajing met again. After the young Emperor Jiajing stepped into the threshold of qi training, his bearing became more profound.
Without having to talk to Emperor Jiajing, Cao Xu said straight to the point: "Ryukyu Island can be handed over to the imperial court, but the emperor has to do three things in exchange." ”
A hint of displeasure flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes, and then he said calmly: "Please also speak clearly, sir." ”
"The first thing is that the Sutra of the Afterlife is a canon. Cao Xu said.
"I can agree to this. Emperor Jiajing said. Over the years, the call for the "Hou Tu Sutra of Death" to be canon has been rising day by day, and this matter can be done.
"The second thing is to build an altar of earth and worship the emperor and the earth. Cao Xu said.
"There is an altar of heaven to worship the sky, and there should be an altar of earth to sacrifice to the earth. This is the right thing. Emperor Jiajing said.
"The third thing is to ask the emperor to overturn the case and reposition the canon for this. With that, Cao Xu took out a book and put it on the table.
Emperor Jiajing looked intently and saw five big characters written on it: "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing".
"Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", the Yuan Dynasty Buddhism and Taoism disputed, after the fiasco of the Quanzhen Sect, it was condemned as a pseudo-scripture by Kublai Khan, and ordered to burn the scriptures.
This was the worst defeat of the Quanzhen Sect. Now that the Quanzhen Sect is revived, if this game cannot be reversed, Cao Xu, the master of Zhongxing, will not be in vain.
