Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Cage
I remember that a certain powerful person in later generations once said, the dragon qi is also the general outline of humanity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, Cao Xu named the invisible power gathered by the integration of name, instrument, and power as humane dragon qi.
The Ming Dynasty's "Eastward Movement" unfolded vigorously, Cao Xu sat in Baiyun Temple, and the rolling humane dragon qi converged on him, and the originally ethereal and illusory sea of knowledge gradually became solidified, and the spiritual strength continued to increase.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the 27th year of Jiajing, and the first stage of the "Eastward Expansion Movement" has come to an end.
In the Baiyun Temple, Cao Xu let out a long laugh and hung the seal and left.
With the departure of Cao Xu, Emperor Jiajing canonized the Quanzhen Sect and precepted barrister Buping as the "Great True Man", settled in the capital Baiyun Temple, and took charge of the Taoist sect in the world.
Emperor Jiajing's practice aroused the dissatisfaction of other tribes within the Quanzhen Sect, and although the Taishan faction, the Hengshan faction, the Songshan faction and other tribes did not directly declare their separation from the Quanzhen Sect, they simply ignored the orders of the Baiyun Temple.
Although the Huashan Sword Sect in the southeast expressed solidarity, it was difficult to reverse the general trend.
If the Great Quanzhen Sect fell apart, the religious groups with monks and Taoists as the main body were canonized by the imperial court and served the imperial court.
The other Jianghu sects are independent, and although they are still under the banner of the Quanzhen Sect, it is clear that this is just a fig leaf.
Cao Xu was well aware of the changes that had taken place in the Quanzhen Sect after his departure, which was the will of Emperor Jiajing, and at the same time had his tacit approval.
The current Quanzhen Sect not only has a wide influence among the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, but also has a strong force in the rivers and lakes, and if it continues to develop like this, it may become the next Taiping Dao one day.
After the split, religion is religion, and the rivers and lakes return to the rivers and lakes, lest anyone in the Quanzhen Sect want to copy Zhu Yuanzhang's successful path from the rivers and lakes to the rivers and lakes in this world in the future. The world is in chaos, and the people are not happy.
At this time, the Quanzhen Sect no longer had any meaning to Cao Xu.
After ten years of cultivation, whether it is the chaotic air mass in the dantian or the humane dragon qi in the sea of knowledge, they have all reached a limit.
Whether you can break the limitations of heaven and earth and step into a higher realm, you can give it a go.
South China Sea, Xia Ke Island.
Ten years ago, Cao Xu went north to the Central Plains to take over the Quanzhen Sect, and shortly after that, a merchant ship that had been separated from the fleet and deviated from the course of a torrential rain discovered the island that Cao Xu had been thinking about.
The businessman was different from the people in the rivers and lakes, they sold the news to the Lin family, not only recovering their losses, but also making a lot of money.
Cao Xu, who was far away in Baiyun Temple, couldn't be separated, but just sent back the news, asking Liu Jing and the others to ask Ping Yizhi to use the herbs on the island to do more experiments to see if they could make "Laba porridge".
It wasn't that long ago that good news finally came. The "Broken Intestine Bone Rotten Heart Grass", which blooms once every ten years, was cleaned up by Ping Yizhi last time, and after accumulating rich experience, this time it was finally done in one fell swoop.
Cao Xu sent out an invitation in the name of the head of the Quanzhen Sect, inviting the heads of all the sects of the righteous path to come to Xia Ke Island to taste "Laba porridge" and watch the "Taixuan Sutra".
Cao Xu also thought of monopolizing Xia Ke Island and turning "Taixuan Jing" into a family heirloom of the Lin family. But thinking about the previous incident of Yu Canghai's destruction of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, he dispelled his mind.
Moreover, the Lin family now does not lack family heirloom martial arts, only outstanding juniors.
Xia Ke Island will become a martial arts holy land, and in the future, the "Huashan Sword Debate" will be held every ten years in the rivers and lakes, and the winners will be selected to enter Xia Ke Island to participate in martial arts.
If anyone wants to monopolize Xia Ke Island, it will inevitably attract the opposition of the entire rivers and lakes.
How long can this pattern last?
Cao Xu didn't know either, but at least during the time period when the flag of the Lin family in Sin'an City, Luzon Island, was flying over the South China Sea, there would be no major problems.
Xia Ke Island will become an important bridge for communication between the Lin family in the South China Sea and the martial arts in the Central Plains.
After Cao Xu arrived on Xia Ke Island, he did not make a noise, and reunited with his family first.
Over the years, he has been far away in the capital, although Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan have to come to Baiyunguan once a year, but after all, there is less gathering and more separation. and Lin Zhennan and his wife, there is only correspondence.
Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Wang are both over the age of six, although the two of them have cultivated internal strength, but the effect is not very good. First, they started too late and were too old; second, in recent years, from Ryukyu Island to Luzon Island, and then to the entire South China Sea, the two elders have been in charge of the overall situation, and too much energy has been spent.
Finally, there are the eldest son and the youngest daughter. Twenty-six-year-old Lin Hao has married three wives, gave birth to five sons and two daughters, and has made great contributions to the development of the old Lin family.
Unconsciously, Cao Xu was already a member of his grandfather's generation.
Among Lin Hao's three wives are the princesses of Annam and Siam, and the last one is the lady of the Xie family, whose family moved from Fuzhou to Luzon. The Xie family is a scholarly family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and when they went south to Luzon, they had the ambition of educating the barbarians, which was a test of the overseas development of the Confucian Yangming Xinxue.
After the eldest son, it is the youngest daughter, Lin Yun, who is already eighteen years old, is tired of writing and liking martial arts, and has inherited the eccentric temperament of Qu Feiyan's elves, entangled a group of little sisters, and rampaged in the South China Sea in the name of the Shifting Flower Palace, boasting that she was uneven, and now she has become a tyrant in the South China Sea that everyone has a headache when they see it.
After family, there are friends.
Cao Xu saw the dying old but energetic Feng Qingyang, and saw the two uncles of the Huashan Sword Sect, Cheng Bu Worry and Cong Bu Abandonment. It is a very difficult thing for the descendants of the Sword Sect to attack the innate by practicing the sword and lightly practicing the qi.
However, Cheng Buxian and Cong Bu abandon the two people are undoubtedly lucky, first there is Feng Buping and the courage to open up, and then there is a clear wind to test the risk, coupled with the help of the cold jade bed, Cheng Buxian only succeeded in landing the congenital after the "Wedding Dress Miracle" was broken and then established.
And Cong Bu gave up after getting the inheritance of success and no worries, reconciled yin and yang, and broke into the innate in one fell swoop.
After talking with the two uncles about some interesting things in the development of the Huashan Sword Sect, and giving some of his own opinions on how the Huashan Sword Sect should develop after the collapse of the building of the Quanzhen Sect, Cao Xu said goodbye to Cheng Bu and Cong Bu Bu, and walked on Xia Ke Island.
In the distance, I saw a figure in a Taoist robe. Cao Xu's footsteps stopped for a moment, and then walked over.
"Little junior sister. Cao Xu greeted.
Yue Lingshan turned around and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Lin, you finally came out of that cage in the capital. ”
"The capital is just a small cage, but this world is a big cage. After coming out of a small cage, I came to another large cage. Cao Xu said.
"Then Senior Brother, what are you going to do?" Yue Lingshan asked.
"Shatter the void, break this big cage, and keep walking. Cao Xu said.
