In Xiping Mansion, Fang Batian, the leader of the Ming Sect, reclined on the couch, thinking about the current situation.

He knew that his injuries could not be recuperated in three or two years, and even if he recuperated well, it would be difficult to break through the martial arts realm, for him, it was already the limit to be able to transfer the Qiankun to the fourth layer, and the fifth layer was a hurdle, he had tried several times, and each time he was tortured.

When cultivating the fifth layer, the body will be hot and cold, when it is cold, it will be like falling into an ice cave, when it is hot, it will be like being scorched by flames, under the alternating invasion of extreme cold and extreme heat, the meridians of the whole body will suffer severe trauma, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of going mad, Fang Batian knows that once you practice to the fifth layer, the true qi in your body can be combined with yin and yang, and you can retract and release it freely, reaching a new realm where your heart moves at will, but unfortunately he has not practiced it.

The old monk of Ling'an Temple has profound skills, extremely difficult to deal with, Mingjiao has the highest martial arts, even he is not an opponent, and the others are even more Hugh Ti, if you want to deal with the old monk, I am afraid that you have to seek external help, today's martial arts have the highest skill in the world's five uniques, and its Middle East evil yellow medicine master has a lot of roots with Mingjiao, maybe you can give it a try.

Fang Batian put his mind on Qu Feiyan, Qu Feiyan is a member of the Ming Sect, and the granddaughter of Huang Yaoshi's apprentice, who has practiced martial arts on Peach Blossom Island, and is considered a descendant of the Eastern Evil, but he has heard that the Eastern Evil Huang Yaoshi has an arrogant temperament, and if he wants to invite Huang Yaoshi to Xixia, he needs to find a suitable reason.

After discussing with the Mad Master, the Ming Sect Leader made a decision, they wanted to bring Fang Guangming and Qu Feiyan together.

Fang Guangming is the only son of Fang Batian, Qu Feiyan is the beloved disciple of the crazy master, these two have grown up on the top of Guangming since childhood, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, they have deep feelings for each other, and they are a pair that everyone in the Ming Sect is very optimistic about. Fang Batian originally wanted to arrange his son's marriage in two years, but now that he has encountered the matter of Ling'an Temple, he will get married in advance.

Peach Blossom Island is Qu Feiyan's master, and he invited Huang Yaoshi to attend the wedding banquet for this reason, presumably the East Evil will not refuse, and then mention the matter of the old monks in Ling'an Temple. As a peerless master, you will definitely be interested in another peerless master, so it will come naturally.

For this marriage, Fang Batian still has deeper considerations, the Ming Sect has changed a lot over the past year, when they crouch on the top of the light, it can be said that they are poor and white, and there is nothing to fight about, so it doesn't matter who is the sect leader. Because of the teachings of the Ming Sect, there is not much difference between the treatment of the sect leader and the ordinary sect members.

Since the Ming Sect members were forced to retreat to Guangming Peak a hundred years ago, they have gone through an extremely difficult and difficult time, and the reason why the Fang clan has been able to become the leader of the Ming Sect is that in addition to having an advantage in martial arts, there is no conflict of interests is the most critical reason.

At this time, the Mingjiao disciples walked out of the top of the light and occupied half of the territory of Western Xia, and there were disputes over interests. Mingjiao was divided into two factions, one was conservative. Support the sect leader Fang Batian, one faction is the reformer, and support the Guangming Left Envoy Lou Shidao, after all, half of the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom was won by the Lou Left Envoy.

Lou Shidao wants to establish his ideal state of theocracy, and it is inevitable that he will conflict with conservatives in some concepts, let alone once the country is established. It involves the question of who is in charge and who will be the emperor, and if you want to thoroughly implement your own ideas, if you don't take power, it can only become empty talk.

As the number of Mingjiao followers increased, the territory became bigger and bigger. The dispute between the two factions gradually moved from the dark to the light, as the leader of the Ming Sect, Fang Batian was naturally unwilling to let go of power, he wanted to weaken Lou Shidao's influence in the Ming Sect, so he sent his son Fang Guangming to sit in Xiping Mansion to preside over the overall situation.

Now that he is seriously injured, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, if Fang Guangming and Qu Feiyan are combined, Peach Blossom Island will become a powerful backer, those who make trouble are absolutely unwilling to face the anger of a peerless master, as long as it is a few years later, Fang Guangming will move the Qiankun to the fourth layer, and the overall situation will be decided.

When Yang Kang came to Xiping Mansion, he was just in time for the upper Batian to announce the marriage of Fang Guangming and Qu Feiyan, and sent someone to Peach Blossom Island to deliver a letter, and the emperor returned from Ling'an Temple in a daze, and met with Lou Shidao secretly to discuss how to drive the Mongol army out of the Western Xia Kingdom, but before that, the internal problems of the Ming Sect must be resolved.

Lou Shidao was clear about the current situation, and he also understood Fang Batian's plans, as a wise man who wanted to leave a name in history, he was an idealist, and he used Western Xia as a pilot to try to establish a relatively free and relaxed system based on the teachings of Mingjiao.

The road is also a trip to the world!

This is the world of Datong, or called the ideal country, in later generations also called utopia, although he and Yelu Chucai both believe in Confucianism, but the direction of emphasis is different, Lou Shidao went further, more idealistic, which is related to the teachings of Mingjiao, he integrated the Confucian idea of Datong and Mingjiao everyone equally, and formed his own concept of governance.

However, in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, Lou Shidao's idea is a little incredible, although he did not deny the imperial power, but weakened the control of the imperial power, which is difficult to tolerate the thoughts of this era, the reason why he is willing to follow Yang Kang is because Yang Kang occasionally says some deviant words, such as equality before the law, etc., which makes Lou Shidao feel that the emperor has the same ideals as him.

The Ming Sect was in a critical period at this time, whether to continue to follow the old path of the twenty-fifth generation of the sect leader Fang La, or to establish an ideal new country, the Guangming Left Envoy hesitated, he either bowed to Fang Batian, or replaced him, became the new leader of the Ming Sect, and let go of his hands and feet.

Lou Shidao has a deep affection for Mingjiao, and does not want to see Mingjiao infighting and splitting, but there is no light without pain, for his ideal Datong world, he has to make up his mind, Yang Kang is not interested in Lou Shidao to establish any country, his purpose is to take Mingjiao into his own hands, so that Western Xia can become the front line of resistance to Mongolia.

After the two discussed, they planned to take advantage of the time when Fang Guangming and Qu Feiyan got married, at that time, the masters of the Ming Sect would come out of the nest from the top of the light, gather in Xiping Mansion, and congratulate a pair of newcomers, as long as they use the poison developed by Yang Kang, they can wipe out the masters of the Ming Sect and completely integrate the resources of the Ming Sect.

For the sake of ideals, so as to unscrupulous means, this is the hero.

After separating from Lou Shidao, His Majesty the Emperor walked in Xiping Mansion, at this time Xiping Mansion changed a lot, there were no gorgeous carriages and sergeants patrolling back and forth on the streets, more were ordinary people, the old aristocracy was cleared, the new aristocracy has not yet risen, lost the former prosperity and hustle, and seemed to be much calmer.

This is a city in the throes of pain.

Yang Kang suddenly had a hunch, maybe Lou Shidao would establish a real Datong world here. (To be continued......)
