Chapter 146: The Past Past
After a solemn and pious ceremony, Yue Wudi officially took over the position of the head of the Ming Sect.
It was an unexpected gain.
Before going to the light, Yue Wudi's purpose was only to find the Nine Yin True Scripture in the Wanshou Dao Collection, but he didn't expect that the Nine Yin True Scripture was not found, but instead became the leader of the Ming Sect.
Although the Ming Sect was extinguished by the Great Song Dynasty with thunderous means, its power gradually declined, and because of the deterrence of Huang Shang, it had to move the light to the Kunlun Mountain in the western land.
However, it has to be said that the potential power of Mingjiao is still very considerable.
Not to mention that the masters in the preaching are like clouds, even Han Yanxuan, who is hidden in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, is enough to be called a huge influence, and it has a great help to Yue Wudi's plan.
Thinking of Han Yanxuan, Yue Wudi's brows furrowed slightly.
This person's identity is too extraordinary, he was originally a powerful family in the Song Dynasty, because of a coincidence, and he agreed with the concept of Mingjiao to save all people, he joined Mingjiao.
And he is now in the Southern Song Dynasty court, it can be said that he is under one person, above ten thousand people, and his status is extremely honorable, compared to the head of the Ming Sect, he is much more noble, and the order of the general altar is really not much binding for him.
Although Zhong Chengzhi said that Han Yanxuan was loyal and had never objected, that was before.
Now, with Yue Wudi as the sect leader, the situation has become complicated.
After all, Yue Wudi had killed Han Yanxuan's son
Although Yue Wudi was the masked assassin that night. Han Yanxuan didn't know. However, for this matter, Wang Meng and Lu Jiechen and others. I definitely started to doubt it in my heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, a Ming Sect disciple outside came in to report and said, "Sect Master, the Qinglu King is here." ”
"Hmm. Yue Wudi raised his head and said, "Call him in." ”
"Yes," the disciple ran out.
After a while, the Green Silk Deer King Lu Jiechen walked in, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Subordinate Lu Jiechen see the sect leader." I don't know what the Sect Master summoned and commanded."
Yue Wudi raised his eyes and stared at Lu Jiechen, half an hour later. said: "The position of the new sect leader of this seat has also seen all the brothers in the sect one by one. ”
"Only the left envoy of Guangming, Han Yanxuan, is because of his sensitive identity. Unable to attend the ceremony of succession to the throne. I don't know anything about him. ”
"I heard that the Qinglu King went to Lin'an a few months ago and communicated with Han Zuo's envoy, so I would like to ask the Qinglu King to introduce me to the situation of Han Zuo's envoy. ”
Lu Juechen's eyelids moved, he raised his head, looked at Yue Wudi seriously, and thought for a moment. Then he said: "Han Zuo's envoy served as the Privy Council in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was in a high position. The eyes and ears of our religion in the Central Plains are all controlled by Han Zuo's envoys, and in the future, our religion's return to the Central Plains will also need to rely on Han Zuo's position in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After a pause, he said: "Although Han Zuo has been away from the main altar for many years, he is still loyal to my teaching. The previous subordinates were ordered by the Zhong Sect Master to steal the Wanshou Daozang, and the eldest brother and the second brother Bai were all trapped in the forbidden palace. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Jiechen quietly stared at Yue Wudi's eyes, wanting to see the change in Yue Wudi's expression clearly, but to his disappointment, Yue Wudi only showed a slight surprise and said:
"Oh, there's something else. It seems that Han Zuo's envoy is indeed loyal. ”
Lu Jiechen said again: "As for martial arts, Han Zuo Envoy is a boy who has been practicing since childhood, and he is extremely pure, and in this sect, he was originally only inferior to Sect Master Zhong. Of course, although Han Zuo's martial arts are high, there is still a big gap between him and the sect leader. ”
Yue Wudi's pupils shrank, but his face was impassive, and he said: "In this way, Han Zuo's envoy should be childless, why did I hear that Han Zuo's envoy had a son when I was in Lin'an City?"
Lu Jiechen glanced at Yue Wudi with a somewhat strange look, and said, "The sect leader doesn't know, that is a son adopted by Han Zuo's envoy in order to hide people's eyes. It's a pity that a few months ago, he was killed by a god I. ”
"Oh" Yue Wudi's face changed, and he seemed to be a little indignant, and said, "Who dares to kill the son of Han Zuo's envoy?"
"This" Lu Juechen was a little hesitant, his eyes flickered, and he said: "This, my subordinates don't know, I only know that that person's martial arts are extremely high, after killing people, he left easily, and I, Han Zuo, and Brother Chi, didn't see the true face of that person." ”
Yue Wudi glanced at him deeply, knowing that Lu Jiechen already suspected that he was the masked man, but the meaning of his words seemed to be assuring himself that insiders and others would not mention this matter again.
Fortunately, Han Zuo's envoy had no real feelings for that adopted son, and he just used him to deceive the investigation of people in the Great Song court. Therefore, this time he was not too sad, and he did not delay the theft of the Wanshou Daozang by the sect because of the loss of his son. Lu Jiechen said such a sentence in order to remind Yue Wudi not to be too wary of Han Yanxuan.
"Han Zuo is a person who focuses on the overall situation. Yue Wudi praised casually, but his heart moved, recalling the old picture, when Han Gongzi was killed by himself, when Han Yanxuan arrived, he really didn't see him have any grief, at that time, he only said that he was in a high position City Mansion Wanjun, but now it seems that it is more likely that he did not take the adopted son to heart at all, so naturally he will not grieve.
Thinking of this, Yue Wudi's heart was slightly wider, Han Yanxuan's position was still of great use to him, and it was naturally better if he didn't turn his back.
Moreover, looking at Lu Jiechen's attitude now, it seems that he doesn't want any estrangement between himself and Han Yanxuan, so naturally he won't tell Han Yanxuan that he may be the god I master who attacked Han Mansion that night.
In this case, Han Yanxuan's matter can be put aside for the time being, Yue Wudi pressed his ear, and said, "Sect Master Zhong ordered you three Dharma Kings to take the risk of stealing the Wanshou Dao Treasure, mainly for the clues of the Holy Fire Order, but it is not that you don't care about the Nine Yin True Scripture." ”
"This scripture has been pursued for a long time. But I want to know if this sect has ever obtained scriptures and copied scriptures when the Nine Yin True Scriptures stirred up the rivers and lakes."
Lu Jiechen was puzzled. It would be forgivable to say that Yue Wudi asked him about Han Yanxuan, after all, he had only met Han Yanxuan a few months ago, but now he actually asked him about such a secret thing as the Nine Yin True Scripture, which was a bit strange.
Shouldn't you ask Sect Leader Zhong this kind of question?
Although he thought so, Yue Wudi was now the sect leader after all. And the martial arts are extremely high, so people dare not ignore them, Lu Jiechen still replied truthfully: "As far as I know." This religion did not participate in the battle for the Nine Yin True Scriptures. ”
"At that time, the Nine Yin True Scripture was in an uproar, and the battle was too fierce, and this religion. But it is itself in a moment of weakness. There are also strong neighbors like Ouyang Feng who have come to prominence, so Sect Master Zhong ordered that all my disciples are not allowed to compete for the Nine Yin True Scripture, so as not to hurt the vitality of the sect in the battle for the scriptures and be taken advantage of by Ouyang Feng. ”
"Oh" Yue Wudi was a little surprised, and said, "You really haven't fought for it either?"
"I remember that in those years, Shi You's envoy and our four Dharma kings and five scattered people. Although they all have a strong yearning for the Nine Yin True Scripture, they are hindered by the grim situation and the orders of the Zhong Sect Master. They were all grounded in the light, and never went down the mountain. I have never heard of any disciple of this sect who has obtained the Nine Yin True Scripture and has been hunted down and killed. ”
Yue Wudi nodded, but he was meditating in his heart, if Bai Ye had not fought for the Nine Yin True Scripture, then the possibility of him killing his father was almost very small.
Lu Jiechen said again: "It turns out that Sect Master Zhong's decision is really prescient. The turmoil of the Nine Yin True Scripture has caused many famous sects in the martial arts to decline or even perish. Even the Shaolin faction has been somewhat affected. But I am enlightened, but because I stayed out of the matter, I have been able to live safely so far. ”
Yue Wudi nodded and said, "Sect Master Zhong is far-sighted. ”
Suddenly, he said: "The Qinglu King knows where the strange snake of the White Snake King came from That night, this seat was besieged by you, and the strange snake attacked silently, and almost even fell into the seat, which is really amazing." ”
Lu Juechen was stunned for a moment, and was so surprised by Yue Wudi's sky-like thinking that he didn't know what to say for a while, but then he seemed to remember something, and said with a wry smile: "That snake is a rare species, colorless and formless, crystal clear, short in size, and extremely poisonous, it is really the treasure of the snake king." ”
"It's just that if the sect leader wants to watch the snake, he can't. ”
"Why is that?" Yue Wudi asked in surprise.
"Ouyang Feng attacked that night and snatched the snake king's strange snake. Lu Juechen smiled bitterly, these days, Bai Ye has lost his love for snakes, and he has not gone to Bai Ye to drink and comfort.
"Oh" Yue Wudi's eyes narrowed, he really wanted to bring Bai Ye's strange snake and take a closer look to confirm whether Bai Ye was his father killer, but now he can't.
Taking a light breath, Yue Wudi retracted his thoughts, not to mention that the possibility that Bai Ye was his father and enemy was extremely small, even if it was true, with Yue Wudi's convenience as the current leader of the Ming Sect, he was not afraid that he would not be able to find Bai Ye in the future.
There was silence for a while, Yue Wudi waved his hand and said, "If the Qinglu King has nothing else to do, he can retreat." ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. Lu Juechen walked out of Yue Wudi's study.
As soon as Lu Jiechen left, a Ming Sect disciple came in, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Sect Master, Sect Master Zhong is invited." ”
Yue Wudi raised his head, said "um", and said, "Got it." ”
The disciple then withdrew.
Yue Wudi stood up and walked out of the study, although the disciple did not elaborate, but Yue Wudi knew where Zhong Chengzhi was waiting for him.
The secret path of Mingjiao is located in the main altar of Mingjiao, in the most central position of light.
And Yue Wudi's study is also in this area, walking out of the study door, what you can see is a school field.
The area of the school field is not very large, but it is five hundred Ming Sect disciples, where they practice battle formations.
After Yue Wudi took office, he personally selected a team of sect leader guards from among the elite disciples of the Ming Sect such as the Five Elements Banner.
As an outsider, he succeeded to the throne of the head of the Ming Sect, and the elders of the sect who were qualified to succeed to the position of the sect leader were naturally unconvinced.
Even if they were afraid of his superb martial arts, as well as the fear of external dangers from Ouyang Feng, they really needed a martial arts sect leader to sit in charge, and they didn't dare to announce it in the open, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.
Of course, Yue Wudi was very clear about these situations.
Now that he is the leader of the Ming Sect, Yue Wudi will completely control the power of the Ming Sect in his own hands.
Let's start by building a sect leader guard who is only obedient to you.
Mingjiao will be a sharp sword for Yue Wudi's future battles, and this sharp sword should not be a pure Jianghu sect, but should have its unique military characteristics.
The teachings of the Ming Sect, Yue Wudi can also be adapted as needed to become the ideological guidance of this army.
Looking at this personal guard who was training in full swing, Yue Wudi's pupils revealed a trace of heat.
Without staying too long, Yue Wudi walked towards the secret path of the Ming Sect.
Compared with the last time he secretly touched the secret passage of the Ming Sect, Yue Wudi, who was already the leader of the Ming Sect at this time, entered the secret passage, but it was just and bright.
In the secret passage, in the practice room.
Zhong Chengzhi sat cross-legged, after this period of recuperation, his injuries had almost recovered, but his expression was still not healthy, his face was pale, and he seemed to be weaker when he was seriously injured.
"Here you are, sit. Zhong Chengzhi opened his slightly closed eyes and motioned for Yue Wudi to sit down.
Yue Wudi sat cross-legged on the futon, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and said, "Call me over today, what's the matter?"
Zhong Chengzhi sighed, stared at Yue Wudi, and said, "Although I passed on you as the sect leader at the beginning, it was forced by the situation. But looking at what you have done these days as the successor of the sect leader, I am really surprised, and I feel that I did not choose the wrong person in the first place. ”
"Although the Ming Sect has always been aimed at resisting tyrants and foreigners and saving the people, in the final analysis, it is just a gang. And it's rare that your reform measures have changed the atmosphere of the entire denomination, and yet you have been able to do it without opposition. ”
Yue Wudi said: "What I have done is, in the final analysis, for the benefit of this sect and for the sake of everyone, so even if there are people in the sect who do not accept me as the sect leader, they will not be disgusted with my reform measures. ”
Sect Master Zhong's old and somewhat old face showed a hint of a smile and said, "Yes." You set up an economic hall and instructed them in the way of doing business, selling things from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and selling goods from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, so as to increase the financial resources of our sect. ”
"And gradually set up bases in various places to collect intelligence, which is a good plan. It's even more rare that you can know all kinds of tricks well, say it, and convince the brothers, this kind of talent really doesn't look like a martial arts master, let alone a teenager. "To be continued
