Chapter 4 Rumors Begin
Zhou Budo and his entourage escorted the carriage slowly towards Huashan, because they were about to pass through Huguang, they planned to accompany Lingxiao to Wudang, which was regarded as a solution to Lingxiao's homesickness, and also informed Sun Zhenren of the situation by the way. But as soon as they entered the territory of Huguang, they heard a piece of news that frightened them.
"Demon Cult, here. ”
Since the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect fell to Huashan Mountain twenty-two years ago, although the Demon Sect has made several sorties on the rivers and lakes in the past twenty years, they have only been petty fights. Even the attack on Hengshan only used a Ren Hengxing, and its purpose was not to destroy Hengshan, but to accumulate credit for Ren Hengxing, make a name for himself, and pave the way for succeeding the sect leader in the future. Although Ren was defeated at the hands of Zhou Qingxuan, and even almost died at the hands of Zhou Qingxuan, who is Zhou Qingxuan? The head of the Huashan faction, the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, and one of the few grandmaster-level masters who can be as famous as Duanmu Tong today, it is already extremely remarkable that they can leave their lives in his hands. Except for this one, which was dedicated to making a name for Ren Rampant, the Sun and Moon Divine Cult didn't have any remarkable activities.
But this time was different. This time, the Demon Sect is full of the power of the whole sect, the sect leader Duanmutong, the ten hall masters, the banner masters, and the newly promoted ten elders, as well as the deputy sect director, are rampant, left and right light messengers, and lead 10,000 elite divisions from Heimu Cliff in Hebei to Wudang Mountain!
Hearing this news, Ling Xiao's first reaction was to disbelieve it, how could it be? In the ninth year of Yongle today, more than 300,000 people were levied and overhauled Wudang Mountain, and there was another army under the mountain to suppress it, although the 10,000 horses of the Sun Moon Divine Sect were elite, but under the protection of so many people's army, they could capture Wudang Mountain, which was a hundred years old, had strong strength, and was a congenital grandmaster, it was simply a fantasy.
What's more, after the end of the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven and the return to the capital, even if the Sun Moon Divine Sect took down Wudang, Duanmutong was not afraid of the wrath of the Son of Heaven and raised a large army to exterminate the Sun and Moon Divine Sect? This was not the time when Hongwu entered Nanjing City in the 35th year of Jinshang, at that time, the foothold was not stable, and the name of Jingnan was to maintain the old system of Taizu, so it was not good to do anything to Heimuya. But now, it has been sitting in the Dragon Court for twenty-two years, and it is powerful in the world, and the group of Jianwen relics are almost dead, and at this time, I am afraid that no one in the government and the opposition will raise objections anymore. The most important thing is that the Black Wood Cliff is in a big move, the main altar is empty, and no matter how dangerous the terrain is, there is no manpower, that is, a layer of paper. At that time, the imperial court Wang Shi took the Black Wood Cliff, and Duanmutong did not capture Wudang Mountain, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect that lost its foundation. If Wang Shi wants to exterminate it, it is a matter of effort.
How do you think about it, how does Lingxiao think that Duanmutong, an old fox who came from the Mengyuan era, should not make this big mistake. But Zhou Budo said something faintly, but she broke out in a cold sweat.
"If the crown prince dies today and the crown prince ascends the throne, what if the king of Han is unwilling?"
Lingxiao shuddered: yes! Then everything is logical.
If the crown prince dies today and the crown prince ascends the throne, the court will spend a lot of effort just to mourn the emperor and the new monarch to ascend the throne. The new monarch ascended the throne, and there was inevitably a reshuffle in the court. What energy do you have to take care of the affairs of Wudang Mountain?
What's more, even if you have energy, the battle in the martial arts, the court has always been indifferent. Not only do they not care, but sometimes they have to provoke disputes in the rivers and lakes, without him, these martial arts people, famous and upright, are all local powerful landlords, calling for wind and rain in the locality, and have close contacts with local officials, as if they are the emperor of a party, and the local officials of the imperial court may dare to find out and write excuses, these martial arts sect requirements, local officials never dare to veto lightly. And what about those scattered people in the rivers and lakes? They are brave and ruthless, relying on their own martial arts, robbing houses and houses, and doing evil, and the better ones are like He Sanqi in Yandang Mountain, who honestly sells his wontons, but they never take the officials of the yamen seriously, evade taxes, and beat up the officials. Several prefectures and counties under Yandang Mountain begged the imperial court to send people to arrest them, and they were all higher than He Sanqi himself. How can the imperial court manage the battles in the martial arts?
In addition, a Han king came in to mix, and the army under Wudang Mountain, the general who led the army married the sister of the Han king, and he was very close to the Han king on weekdays, if the Han king sent a letter to him. He probably won't really be involved in it when the time comes. To put it another way, if these 300,000 people are all on the side of the King of Han and repeat the martyrdom of Fengtian, it may not be impossible.
But the premise of all this is one: the dragon is really riding the guest today.
Lingxiao didn't believe it, the last time she followed her grandfather to Jingshi to report the specific matters of the construction of Wudang Mountain to the Son of Heaven, her grandfather told her that her body has at least ten years of life. How could he die so quickly?
However, it is not necessarily without reason, and the long-distance attack of 10,000 people cannot be casually covered up or faked. The Sun Moon God Sect must be attacking Wudang, as for why, maybe it's because Jinshang is dead, maybe it's because Duanmutong went crazy in practice and burned his brain. But no matter what, we have to rush back to Wudang as soon as possible, the strength of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, even if Wudang can stop it, it will be a big loss in the end.

The morning sun was shining, and it was a peaceful early autumn morning.
Unlike the turbid Yellow River, the Danjiang River, which originates in Sishang County, Shaanxi Province, was still crystal clear before it underwent deforestation and land reclamation in later generations. He was not as irritable as the Yellow River, and often swept up angry waves several feet high, which wanted to wash away the boats walking on the river. Zhou Budo rushed through the roar quickly, as if he was going to smash the submerged Yellow River hanging high in the sky compared to Danjiang, Danjiang was simply a quiet girl. A big ship sailed in the Danjiang River, but it was as smooth as a rock, and it did not tilt, so it drifted forward slowly and steadily. The two people on the bow of the boat are Zhou Budo and Lingxiao.
Lingxiao looked at the calm river with a distraction, as if he had completely forgotten that Wudang was facing a stormy situation. But only Zhou Budo, who was standing beside her, knew that the seemingly calm woman in front of her was not as calm as her face, I am afraid that it was like turning over the river and the sea.
"Brother Zhou, Wudang will be fine. Can we catch up? Wudang, can we hold on? Lingxiao said softly, if it weren't for Zhou Budo's great progress in the past two years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard what she said.
"No, I have already sent a post as the head disciple of Huashan, before the Demon Sect army arrives at Wudang Mountain, our Wuyue Sword Sect and the Jianghu Zhengdao Sect will gather in Wudang to resist the Demon Sect. Besides, Wudang's century-old faction is strong, and Sun Zhenren has been practicing with Zhang Zhenren for so many years, so he will be fine. Zhou Budo comforted Lingxiao and said. In fact, what Zhou Budo said was half true, half false, the Wuyue Sword Sect must not have come from the same place, the Hengshan faction is weak, and it is only a day's journey from the Black Wood Cliff, the main altar of the Demon Sect, that is, after receiving the letter, they will leave immediately, and when they come, I am afraid that this battle has already ended; as for the Songshan faction, it is difficult to say whether it can not be destroyed by the Demon Sect, and I am afraid that the only thing that can come in the end is the Huashan faction that can go directly to Wudang through the Danjiang River, the Taishan faction that has the convenience of Cao Yun, and the Hengshan faction whose power is in Huguang.
As for the other big factions, the three factions of Kunlun, Emei, and Qingcheng are too late, and the other small fish and shrimp, don't say whether they dare to come, even if they come, I'm afraid it won't help. Now the only variable is whether Shaolin can make a move, if Shaolin can come forward, the demon army, no matter how much, will not be able to pass Henan.
Lingxiao knew that Zhou Budo was comforting herself, and said, "Thank you." He looked up at the sky in silence. The dark clouds in the sky completely covered the blue sky, as if separated by a layer of glass, and the clear colors became blurred together. Suddenly, Lingxiao felt a trace of coolness on his face, it turned out that it was already raining lightly, and Lingxiao muttered, "God...... It's changed......"
