Chapter 3: Blackwood Cliffs

Because of the fierce battle with the Wuyue Sword Sect twenty years ago, the vitality of the Sun Moon Divine Sect was greatly damaged, and it almost moved the fundamentals, and the top ten elders who stayed on Huashan were all old people who came from the Mingjiao Guangming Era, and they were all the last batch of top masters in the Mingjiao Era who were cultivated from a young age and spent decades of hard work and painstaking training. Just stayed on Huashan for some reason, even if the Sun Moon God Sect had a great cause, it couldn't afford such a big loss for a while.

Without these Optimus White Jade Pillars and the Sea Purple Gold Beam, the Sun Moon God Sect is not very majestic. If it weren't for the current sect leader Duanmu Tong, who had practiced the fifth layer of the Great Shift of Qiankun, and broke through the innate nature, the left and right envoys were working at the foot of the mountain for some reason, and they did not participate in the battle of Huashan, and they were lucky to stay, plus the power of the Sun and Moon God Sect in the past. I'm afraid that the current Black Wood Cliff is no longer controlled by the Ming Sect. In order to maintain the Taoism of the Ming Sect and for the fact that Heimu Cliff has always been a line of the Ming Sect, Duanmutong has been carefully cultivating orphans collected from the bottom of the mountain for more than 20 years. This is also the reason why the Sun Moon God Sect has been dormant for more than 20 years and has never started a war with the Martial Arts Orthodox Sect.

More than 20 years of recuperation and recuperation, more than 20 years of painstaking management. To this day, the vitality of the Sun and Moon God Sect has finally recovered after going through great difficulties. The riot that was secretly launched a few years ago, although it failed and lost a large number of troops, the backbone of the army still exists, and as for the small soldiers below, it is very good to attract them in disaster years. The Sun Moon Divine Cult has tested the quality of the army under its command through this war, not to mention that many masters have stood out from it, greatly enriching the power of Blackwood Cliff.

Yongle 22nd August Ding Wei

The Black Wood Cliff was still as calm as ever, the high Sect Master, the left and right messengers of the mainstay, the Ten Elders, the Banner Master, the Incense Master, and the bottom guards guarding the Black Wood Cliff all repeated the things that had been repeated for the past twenty years, but a fast horse galloping from Qingzhou broke the peace of the Black Wood Cliff.

"Who!" the knight rode to the Orangutan Beach, but alarmed the guards. One by one, the samurai who could dominate the side on the rivers and lakes ran out of the dark corners. When the knight first came, he was extremely shocked, these good hands were willing to be guarded, and in the obscure old dead mountain, this sun and moon god taught such a big arm. But after the shock, I also felt normal. If it weren't for the fact that the former head of the Ming Sect had an appointment with Emperor Taizu Gao, and the Sun Moon Divine Cult seemed to only ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes over the years, and no longer instigated the people to rebel, I am afraid that with the character of the Son of Yongle, he would have attacked the mountains and encircled and suppressed it with a large army. And how can the defense be lax?

Of course, in fact, in the eyes of many people of insight, the most important factor why the Son of Yongle has tolerated this anti-thief nest in his eyes for so many years is that the terrain of this area of Heimu Cliff is dangerous, and although the members of the Sun and Moon God Sect have small differences, they can be regarded as united. His army is going to Mobei to pacify Mongolia, how can it be wasted in this place? Moreover, it is difficult for the Son of Yongle to be appeased, and he is playing the banner of maintaining the old system of Taizu, and he is looking for an excuse to level this place, and those literati in the world who have Jianwen in their hearts are afraid that they will say something, which will not benefit the Son of Yongle in the slightest, so how can he do it?

Although the knights have been here so many times, they are basically used to it, but every time they come, they can't help but sigh in their hearts. After thinking so much in his heart, but in fact, after a moment, the knight took out a token from his arms: "Kuroki Ling is here! Hurry up! Report to your family master, my family master has an urgent secret letter!"

Seeing that the person in front of him took out the black wood order, although he didn't know what to do, these guards still followed the process, first sent someone to notify the sect leader, and then opened and closed it to let him go.

After a while, a richly dressed middle-aged man came over on horseback: "Brother Wang, what is the matter with you coming this time!?"

"Brother Ren, it's a good thing, I'll have a good time with you when I see Sect Master Duanmu. The knight shouted.

"I can't say anything?" the man surnamed Ren laughed, "Well, if you don't say it, don't say it." But the old rules, you know. ”

The knight dismounted, let the guards put blindfolds on him, and carried him into the carriage. Under the leadership of the man surnamed Ren, he passed through three mountain roads and came to a water beach. The man surnamed Ren released an arrow, and three small boats rocked over the opposite shore and picked up the group. The boat reached the opposite shore, and everyone went all the way up the mountain. The mountain road was steep, and the man surnamed Ren and his party abandoned it at the time of transition, and the group hiked uphill under the light of pine wood torches. The knight was carried on his back and walked on the mountain path, and although he could not see, he knew that on one side was a strong mountain wall, and on the other side was an abyss. The howling wind kept pouring into the ears, and the terrain was extremely dangerous.

"Brother Ren, hurry up, this is an urgent matter, if this thing can be done, your sect will no longer have to stay on this remote cliff. The knight urged. After coming so many times, he almost knew that this was still very early from the Wencheng Wude Palace.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, this mountain cliff is steep, if you accidentally fall down, Ren can still grab the mountain rock and climb up, you will be in danger," the man surnamed Ren smiled.

The knight was speechless for a moment.

Up to mid-levels. There is a large open flat area. Looking at the past, I saw that the houses were continuous, and it was a village of considerable scale. At the end of the village, there is a long stone staircase that leads to the top of the mountain. The crowd did not dare to delay any longer, but after a short rest, they went up the cliff along the stone steps again. On the way, there were three passes in succession, and before each pass, someone asked for the night's password and checked the waist card. When I reached the last pass, I saw two lines of big characters engraved on both sides, the left head is "Wencheng Wude", the right head is "benevolence, righteousness and wisdom", and the banner is engraved with four big red characters of "Zhongxing Shengjiao". At the back, there are cliffs and no way out. But there are a few large wooden boxes on the ground, hanging ropes, which are enough to hold ** stone rice.

When he arrived here, the knight's blindfold had not yet been removed, but after hearing the bell ringing, he felt a vibration, and the knight thought to himself: "Isn't that what it is, oh, the man-powered elevator, Fang Shiyu has already built it." It's also precious, like a baby. I don't know why Fang Shiyu asked me to help that person spread the news to the group of anti-thieves in Heimu Cliff. Eh, I don't know the news that that person is going to rebel, has Fang Shiyu received it, the crown prince and grandson, ah no, how is the preparation of the emperor and the prince, is it too late for the prince to raise troops from Kaiping to Qingzhou?

The Blackwood Cliff is really high. This ancient human-like elevator kept rising slowly, and it didn't take long for it to enter the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain. It took a long time for the noose winch to finally come to an end. Everyone walked out of the human elevator, walked a few zhang to the left, and carried into another bamboo basket, it turned out that the top of the cliff was too high, there were three winches in the middle, and it was necessary to twist it to the top of the cliff four times.

When we reached the top of the cliff, it was easy to reach the top of the cliff, and the sun had risen high. I saw the sunlight coming from the east, shining on a huge white marble archway, four golden characters on the archway read: "Ze is born by the people", the sun shines, emitting a shining golden light, can not help but make people awe-inspiring. From the archway to the front gate, there is a straight stone road. After entering the gate, they took off the knight's blindfold, and everyone hurried all the way to the Wencheng Wude Palace. All the way in, the corridor was full of halberd warriors, a total of three large iron gates, only to see a long corridor, hundreds of warriors lined up on both sides, each holding a bright long knife.

Walking through the corridor, we came to the front of the seven gates, in front of which a thick curtain hung over. The man surnamed Ren said: "The sect leader is waiting for Brother Wang inside, Brother Wang will go by himself, and Ren will not accompany him." This is the important place of this religion, and the leader of the sect is not called, and he is not allowed to enter the meeting. ”

The knight nodded: "Understood, when the secret letter is given to the sect leader, I will come to Brother Ren for a drink." When the time comes, Brother Ren should not refuse. ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

The knight entered the main hall, the hall was no more than thirty feet wide, and the depth was about three hundred feet, and he saw that there was a high one at the other end of the long hall, and there was a long-bearded old man sitting in the seat. There are no windows in the hall, and the entrance of the hall is lit with bright candles, but there are two flickering flames burning around Duanmutong, which are far away, and the fire is dim, and it is not clear how this person looks.

The knight bowed and saluted, "Wang Huning has seen the Duanmu Sect Master. I wish the leader good health and achievements to cover the world"

Duanmu Channel: "What's the matter with the King of Han, he actually asked you to come from Qingzhou to report the news from Heimu Cliff in the starry night." ”

The knight said: "Something big happened, the Son of Heaven died in Yumu River." King Han wants to ask the master ......"

Duanmutong was surprised: "Zhu Di is dead? Ah no, the emperor has died? How is it possible! Even if he practiced all the blood refining and slashing, and he is not good at health preservation, he will not die so quickly!" Speaking of this, Duanmu Tong looked at the knight suspiciously: "Don't be the poisonous hand of your Han King." He shook his head again: "Your Han King doesn't have the courage, who is that? Prince? No, that coward doesn't have the courage, who is that?"

The knight was shocked: "He almost guessed it, no, he can't let him think about it." Hurriedly spoke: "The king of Han has no intention of killing the king and killing his father, let alone doing it, it may be done by the remnants of the Northern Yuan, but now it is meaningless to pursue the murderer, the prince has ascended the throne, and the king of Han wants to clear the sect..."

I don't know what the knight and Duanmutong said in the hall. After a long time, the man surnamed Ren was impatient to wait outside, and was about to go back to make up for sleep, or go to eat first, but saw the knight walk out of the inside, the sun and the moon on the gate were bright, and an old voice came from inside: "Order, edict double envoy, ten elders, ten hall masters, and all banner masters come to Wencheng Wude Palace!

"Something is wrong!" the man surnamed Ren thought silently in his heart
