In May, the prosperity of the capital has faded, and spring is in full swing. And the spring of Wudang Mountain has just reached her most brilliant, gorgeous, enchanting and charming moment. Alpine rhododendron blooms in the depths of the deep mountains, Wudang Mountain is like a goddess of independence in the world, dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, with the ribbon in her hand flying lightly, on the Forbidden City of Wudang Mountain, auspicious clouds, sacred birds are trampling, Ambilight, and aura, forming a magnificent and brilliant, beautiful spring of heaven.

May every year is also a good time for tourists to gather in Wudang Mountain to travel. In the Ming Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was named "Dayue" and "Xuanyue of the Governing World" by the emperor, and was respected as the supreme "Imperial Family Temple". Many dignitaries have used this time to climb Wudang Mountain, "appreciate the alpine rhododendrons, and watch the Forbidden Wonders".

Purple City was built in the seventeenth year of Yongle, surrounded by Yantian Pillar Peak, the circumference is 345 meters, the wall base is 2.4 meters thick, the wall thickness is 1.8 meters, the highest point of the city wall reaches 10 meters, it is built with a stone according to the rock, each stone weighs more than 500 kilograms, according to the model of Chinese heaven, there are four stone carvings imitating the wooden structure of the city tower symbolizing the gate of heaven. The stone carving building is on the cliff wall, the design is ingenious, the construction is difficult, and it becomes the product of the combination of science and art in the Ming Dynasty.

This year's first martial arts competition in Wudang Mountain will be held in the Fuzhenguan Hall, which has become the top priority for martial arts people in the Central Plains. For the samurai of the Central Plains, although the Tianshan Martial Arts Conference is also very important, it is just a foreign martial arts conference, a bit unjustifiable, the Central Plains Shaolin Temple, Wudang faction and other factions, the world is peaceful during the Yongle period, martial arts has been unprecedentedly admired, various sects are numerous, widely recruit disciples, a free and prosperous rivers and lakes gradually formed.

At the same time, traditional Chinese martial arts have evolved and improved, and many forces have emerged, such as the Western Regions Martial Arts, which specializes in the martial arts of the Central Plains, and the Yanmen Tantra, which is the anti-cultivator and the governor, among which there are many samurai with real skills. There are also scum who are mixed with fish and pearls, which makes the Central Plains martial arts uneven, you fight for me, and the undercurrent is surging.

"Sai Zhuge " Liu Jing is very smart, he saw this, and proposed to Zhu Di to compete in the Central Plains local martial arts competition, and got the emperor's consent, what Liu Jing didn't expect was that Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was ready to come to Wudang Mountain Fuzhen Temple to watch the martial arts competition in person, and the news spread. The people in the rivers and lakes are all scrambling, can show the martial arts of each faction in front of the saint, if they can take the lead, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di will personally reward him with the plaque of "Central Plains Martial Arts Overlord" inscribed by himself, which is equivalent to handing over the power to control the Central Plains martial arts to him, who will dare to disobey it in the future.

The venue of the competition is located in the Fuzhen Temple, the Fuzhen Temple is one of the most satisfactory buildings of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, after the completion of Zhu Di has personally come to inspect, so that Wudang Mountain master and apprentice earn enough face. The Wudang faction is not the most powerful sect in the Central Plains. At that time, Zhang Sanfeng, the patriarch of the Wudang faction, created Taijiquan, and then absorbed the strength of hundreds of swordsmanship, and integrated the Taoist self-cultivation method to create the Taiji sword. Wudang Sanfeng Taiji Sword absorbs Taoist cultural thoughts, and has the Taoist qigong method of practicing refinement and qi, practicing qi and transforming spirits, practicing gods and returning voids, and returning voids to Taoism, and has the functions of strengthening the body, self-defense, and prolonging life, which is a collection of martial arts and self-cultivation. A bit famous. But since Zhang Sanfeng's death, the Wudang faction has begun to weaken, coupled with the Central Plains Shaolin Temple, Emei faction, White Lotus Sect, etc., how can Wudang be dominant. Therefore, martial arts people are very entangled.

The competition requires real skills, and there is no hypocrisy at all, and the sword and gun are ruthless. Is there still less fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, grievances and hatreds are staged almost every day, which urgently needs a martial arts alliance leader who can preside over justice to appear and deal with things that the imperial court is unwilling to deal with. The rivers and lakes are turbulent, and the strong are competing, so it depends on who can calm the chaotic situation in the rivers and lakes and control the fate of the martial arts.

Jianghu people all understand such a truth, there is no strongest martial arts in the world, but there will be the strongest people in a certain era. This person will become the leader of the alliance to lead the martial arts and become a symbol of this era. This person can be proud of the crowd and step on the people, this person is the leader of the martial arts alliance. Therefore, martial arts hegemony is not only a battle for fame and fortune, any person who practices martial arts wants to know what kind of course their martial arts cultivation has gone, so the most direct way is to participate in the martial arts competition, which can best prove your strength.

Who doesn't want to stand at the top of the martial arts, proud of the heroes and famous in the world, once you win, you can shock the rivers and lakes, become the leader of the martial arts alliance, the world will be in your hands, and the fate of the martial arts will also be in your hands. This temptation is not to be feared. But the rivers and lakes have produced many talents, and generation after generation of martial arts masters have enriched the legends of the rivers and lakes with their miraculous martial arts and righteous Bo Yuntian's pride. No one can dominate the martial arts forever, but five years is enough time for a martial arts person or faction.

You can do a lot of things in five years, and no one dares to challenge your supreme status in the rivers and lakes in five years, because you are the first in the world, and you have won the pinnacle by yourself. Proud of the world, who competes, the next is fame, fortune and status, and money and beauties follow one after another. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di officially took advantage of the vanity and competitive temperament of martial arts people, and secretly laid a solid foundation for his vicious plan, and the drunkard did not mean to drink.

When Chen Fengjiao, the "Qin Saint", left the palace and came to the Forbidden City of Wudang Mountain, there were only two masters arranged for her by the great eunuch Liu Jing, and the eunuchs of Dongchang accompanied her. One of these two people is called Liu Pin and the other is Liu Hou, they are not very old, they have a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, their appearance is very ordinary, they wear civilian clothes, and they are two servants who follow them. Don't underestimate these two people, their martial arts are very good, especially Liu Hou, who has high internal strength and mastery of a palm, which is an internal kung fu and is spread in Hebei, Henan and other places. The cotton palm is characterized by soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and it is mainly explosive. The technique is mainly palm, running and stretching, the action is continuous, and the palm runs into a loop. The strength is strong inside, soft on the outside, and explodes quickly. It can kill people in an instant.

Chen Fengjiao said goodbye to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di when she left, Zhu Di specially arranged a private banquet for her, all of them were vegetarian dishes, without a trace of meat, Zhu Di said: "Ai Fei, I am also going to go to Wudang Mountain to watch the martial arts competition, the Fuzhen Temple is my favorite place, I originally wanted you to go with me, but the situation did not allow me to do this, I prepared a glass of wine, practice it for Ai Fei." ”

"Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao is very contradictory, she found that she has a better and better impression of Zhu Di, this kind of good impression comes from the heart, this emperor who is ordinary on the outside but very assertive in his heart is not a faint monarch, nor is he a saint, he has both a brilliant side and a brutal side. He personally created the Yongle Shengshi, and the Ming Dynasty was very strong in both politics and military, and it has to be said that he was an emperor who made a difference.

Zhu Di is also an unsmiling, majestic and martial emperor. Many ministers and concubines were afraid of him, in the early years of Yongle, in order to clear the Jianwen Yu Party, Zhu Di adopted a bloody policy, "melon vines, killing ten clans" were produced in this period, some literati committed crimes, not only his relatives nine clans, but also his friends were also executed by Zhulian, which is called killing ten clans.

Zhu Di is a caring person, "all the details of the people are investigated". He was extremely strict with local officials, requiring them to have an in-depth understanding of the people's conditions and report the people's woes to the court at any time. In the tenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered more than 500 local officials to go to the Hajj to state the local people's feelings, and also stipulated that "those who do not speak are guilty, and those who say inappropriately do not ask."

Then Zhu Di announced, "Tell the Ministry of Households, where there are divisions and envoys in counties and counties who witness the hardships of the people and do not say anything, they will be arrested." That is, if a local official or an observer of public sentiment sent by the central government sees the suffering of the people and does not report it falsely, he or she will be arrested and prosecuted. In the event of a disaster among the people, the local authorities should provide timely relief so that "the flood and drought will come to an end and there will be no congestion."

All these measures have made the world peaceful in Yongle Nian, and the people are relatively comfortable and not suffering from war, which is obvious to all.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di took a sip of a "love concubine", Chen Fengjiao did not correct it from the initial uneasiness to now, when the emperor raised his glass to her, Chen Fengjiao's eyes were a little sour, and Liu Jing, who was sitting on the side, was very jealous in his heart, when would Ming Chengzu Zhu Di treat a woman like this, even if it was his favorite Concubine Quan Xian, could it be that the emperor was really emotional, or did he want to indulge in it.

After the banquet, Chen Fengjiao asked Zhu Di for something, which showed that this thing was very important to her, Zhu Di nodded and said, "Concubine Ai, you are a caring person, I believe you will succeed, because you are different from others." ”

The main peak of Wudang Mountain, Tianzhu Peak, is capped, and there is a stone city about a kilometer long, which is the Forbidden City. There are four city gates: East Heavenly Gate, West Heavenly Gate, South Heavenly Gate and North Heavenly Gate. In 1403, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, sat in Nanjing, after which he made the most important decision after his accession to the throne and moved the capital to Beijing. Ming Chengzu, who worships Taoism, at the same time as "building the Forbidden City in the north", plans to "repair Wudang in the south".

"Qin'an Palace" is the main building in the Forbidden City, the central shrine, the true martial god is wearing hair and feet, stepping on the turtle and snake, wearing the Xuanyu, holding the broken demon sword, wearing the dragon robe of the eight regiments of green cloud satin, sitting on the throne. This bronze statue has been placed here since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The true martial god has a broken beard and hangs his face, and his eyes are blazing. The left waiter golden boy holds the book, the right waiter jade girl Duanbao, the two generals of water and fire, holding the flag and holding the sword and guarding the two compartments.

"Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao looked up and found that the True Martial God was a little similar to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the founder of the Forbidden City. They are all majestic and murderous. The True Martial God is also known as the Sword Immortal Emperor, the Xuanwu True Monarch. One of the gods of Han folk belief. It is popular in all parts of the north and south. It is the god of the north worshiped by the Han people. The spirit turtle is the shield, the snake is the sword, and the heavenly sword is the true guardian. The supreme god of Taoism in Wudang Mountain. (To be continued......)
