Chapter 66 Shaolin, Wudang
The Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain, which have always been known as the Niu Er of the Jianghu, are basically not the same as the sects on the rivers and lakes, and they are obviously higher than the big sects such as the Wuyue Sword Sect???? Huo Ran?text?? w?w?w?.?
They are now considered to be half of the official figures, and the royal family of the current dynasty also has to give Shaolin and Wudang some face, which can be seen from the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang faction have legal properties and mansions, many of which are given by the royal family. Not only that, but also has a legitimate independent armed force, Shaolin Temple has thousands of monks, Wudang Mountain also has a lot of wrestlers, in addition, the palace is indispensable to the figure of these two factions, only there is a clear historical record of the book can be seen that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard Jinyi Wei has a lot of lay disciples from the Wudang faction.
And in the courtyard of the deep palace, I want to know that the worship masters of the Ming Dynasty are absolutely indispensable to the personnel of these two factions. Therefore, the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang faction did not have much pursuit of the sphere of influence on the rivers and lakes. After all, the power they possess can be said to be like an iron bucket, and as long as there are no huge changes, basically their status and interests will not be shaken.
However, this does not mean that Shaolin and Wudang can tolerate other Jianghu sects in their own sphere of influence and unscrupulously display their power.
After a period of arguing, after Master Fang Zheng and Daoist Chongxu basically determined that their sphere of influence would not fluctuate too much, they did not continue to strive for greater interests, but instead stopped, watching the rest of the people quarrel, after all, they are old fritters who have been rolling in the rivers and lakes and officialdom for many years, and they will not make any excessive moves.
Master Fang Zheng and Dao Chang Chongxu looked at the people who were still arguing and smiled.
Master Fang Zheng glanced at the Chongxu Dao Chief, and the Chongxu Dao Chang understood, and nodded slightly at him.
Don't look at the Wudang faction now seems to have been standing on the same front with the Shaolin Temple, in fact, this is because they are all facing the challenge of the entire rivers and lakes, if the overall situation has been decided, and there is such a behemoth as the Sun and Moon God Sect outside, the Songshan faction has been planning the merger of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and wants to stand with Shaolin and Wudang, in this case, of course, they will join forces to suppress these rising stars.
If there is no threat from the outside and can shake the power of the two factions, the Wudang faction is really willing to be the second in 10,000 years for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to saddle the Shaolin Temple for a lifetime.
This is like Britain and the United States during World War II, naturally joining hands to resist the enemy in the face of the Axis powers, and they looked like good buddies, but when the Axis powers fell and the United States grabbed the world's number one hegemon, was it polite to Britain? If Britain hadn't known each other and ceded the world's dominance by itself, the United States would have beaten him up a long time ago!
The same is true of the current Shaolin Temple and the Wudang faction, when the Shaolin Temple is working with the Wudang faction to deal with the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, it is also secretly guarding against the Wudang faction, its little brother, and the Wudang faction is the same, secretly coveting the position of the Shaolin Temple, the number one faction in the rivers and lakes.
Of course, this refers to the situation after the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect all fell, and now at this time, the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect are still good brothers.
After receiving Master Fangzheng's eyes, Daoist Chongxu said, "Everyone, let's stop first!"
When everyone heard Chong Xu's words, they didn't dare not give face, although they were angry with each other, they still stopped temporarily.
"Since we are discussing the important matter of peace in the rivers and lakes, why don't we each take a step back!" Chong Xudao said with a smile to the people who stopped, "Let's all give up a little territory and use it as a buffer zone for us!"
Master Fang Zheng saw that Chongxu Dao Chang was so superior, and he also opened his mouth to support: "That's true, our forces are indeed intertwined, I'm afraid that we won't be able to talk about a result even when it gets dark, so I might as well give up one or two counties to serve as a buffer land, so that those small sects and factions on the rivers and lakes can survive!"
Master Fang Zheng is really powerful, and he immediately raised the conflict between their respective forces to the level of the entire rivers and lakes, and changed the topic to the survival of the small sects and factions on the rivers and lakes.
The heads of those small sects and small sects under the high platform have already been shocked when they listen to the discussions of those big sects on the high platform about the territory, they are not those martial arts scattered people who are watching the excitement on the periphery of the venue, and they all have the Taoist system passed down from generation to generation in their hands, although they are not very prosperous, but some of them are also prominent in history, and some of the history is not necessarily shorter than the Shaolin Temple, but some of the ancestors are wrong, and some of the descendants are not angry, and they are slowly declining, they are reluctant to let the sect perish in their own hands, which is a great crime。
And according to the way these big factions on the high platform divide the territory, they don't even have a chance to survive in the cracks, this is a direct way to force them to take refuge in one side, and they can't even live, how can they give up, they are already ready to fight to the death, and if they can't say it, they can rise in chaos like the Huangshan faction.
Of course, it is better not to work hard, or not to fight, knowing that the gap in strength is too big, no one wants to die here, at this time, as soon as he heard Master Fangzheng shift the topic to the big issue of his own life and death, he immediately spoke in favor of the audience.
The other ten people on the high platform originally heard the words of Master Fang Zheng and Chongxu Dao Chief, and their faces were already very ugly, and then they heard the noise of many martial arts sects in the audience, and their faces were even more ugly.
The territory in the martial arts is so big, if you occupy an extra piece, I will definitely eat one less, they are not like Shaolin and Wudang have a broad mass base, and they do not have strong official support, but they can only focus on this little interest in the martial arts to support themselves.
These martial arts factions on the high platform, regardless of good or evil, stared at Master Fangzheng and Chongxu Daoist with vicious eyes at the same time, they usually want to give Shaolin and Wudang two faces, but when it comes to their own interests, who is willing to give it to others, no matter who you are, blocking people's money, like killing parents.
Master Fang Zheng and Dao Master Chong Xuan looked at the sword-like gaze of the master of the two realms of good and evil, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Master Fangzheng suddenly, chanted a Buddha name, "Amitabha!" was shocked, stood up, and the momentum of the whole body was undisguised and dispersed, as if a Ming King who had descended into the world was going to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
None of these people on the high platform rolled over from the sea of swords and swords, how could they be afraid of the threat of force from others, and suddenly they all seemed to be provoked, not only did they not die down, but they were all upright, and there was fire in their eyes, and they were not afraid of Master Fangzheng's momentum, as if they wanted to melt Master Fangzheng with the anger in their eyes.
The head of the Songshan faction, Zuo Lengchan, reflected the most, the Songshan faction was adjacent to the Shaolin Temple, he had been suppressed by the Shaolin Temple since he had been ordinary, and many plans were destroyed by the Shaolin Temple, and he had already held his breath, and now he saw that Master Fangzheng dared to hold his usual frame of the world's first sect at the martial arts conference, and he didn't put the world's martial arts in his eyes, and he couldn't help it and jumped out.
"Master Fangzheng doesn't think that the martial arts in the world are all the lower courtyards of your Shaolin Temple, and they can be decided by you!" Zuo Lengchan scolded Shaolin, The two factions of Wudang, the ancestor of the Wudang faction was born in Shaolin, and everyone knows it, but since Zhang Sanfeng steadily became the first master in the world, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to say that Wudang, until recent years, it is no longer said on the rivers and lakes, and now Zuo Lengchan picks it out, which is nothing more than saying that the Wudang faction is like the lower courtyard of Shaolin Temple, and all actions are obeyed by the orders of Shaolin Temple.
As soon as Chongxu Dao Chang heard this, his face turned green, he slapped the long sword on his waist, stood up, and the momentum on his body shrouded Zuo Lengchan, as if the mythical Northern Zhenwu Emperor had descended into the world and wanted to kill the monster with the divine sword.
Zuo Lengchan was not to be outdone, he snorted, the cold ice true qi ran all over his body, and a solemn aura permeated the audience, as if he had turned into a general who had spent his life on the battlefield for the rest of his life, invincible.
As soon as the heads of the other four factions of the Wuyue Sword Sect saw Zuo Lengchan and Fang Zheng and Chong Xuan facing each other at the same time, they knew that the general situation was not good.
Although this Zuo Lengchan is also one of the top ten masters of the righteous path in the rivers and lakes, if you want to talk about strength, I am afraid that you will have to lose a trace of the master of the righteous way, not to mention that the head of the Daoist Chongxu has to make a move.
Although in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Zuo Lengchan's idea of merging the Wuyue Sword Sect was exposed, but before that, how could the other four factions not know at all, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is just a secret spread by a small number of people to the world.
Since the Wuyue Sword Sect had already known in their minds before, the Songshan Sect was going to make a move to merge factions, but they still did not withdraw from the Wuyue Alliance, the reason is also very simple, they can only be the Wuyue Sword Sect of Megatron if they hold a group, once the alliance collapses, they may still be a big faction, but they have no right to speak in the entire rivers and lakes.
Therefore, as soon as the heads of these four factions saw Zuo Lengchan facing each other with Master Fangzheng and Chongxu Dao Chang, they immediately stood up in unison, releasing their own momentum and confronting the two.
Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan faction, is like a general wearing ice armor; Mo Da of the Hengshan faction is like a street performer; the head of the Tianmen sect of the Taishan faction is like a magnificent immortal; Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan faction, seems to be a sage who reads to the morning glow with a scroll in his hand; and Dingyi Shitai of the Hengshan faction is like a bodhisattva who has come from the western heavens.
Monks, laymen, Taoists, Confucianists, and the military, all of them are all together, which is also in line with the essence of the swordsmanship of each faction, against a descending king and a mortal emperor.
The atmosphere in the field froze a little for a while, and Ren Wuxing and Dongfang Bai watched from the sidelines, saying no, but undisguised ridicule and banter flashed in their eyes.
The beggar gang leader Xie Feng and Feng Qingyang didn't say much when they were arguing about the territory before, after all, one is a hermit master, and the other is the leader of the beggar gang, as long as there are beggars, there will be beggars, and they will not be transferred by anyone's will.
As soon as the two of them saw that this was not going to work, they hurriedly rushed between the several people who were confronting each other.
