Chapter 41: Saving Pingwu County, which is doomed to destruction
This is Zhangjia Village, an ordinary small mountain village, like all the mountain villages in Shuzhong during this period, with a hint of dilapidated atmosphere. As a land of Shu that resisted the Mongols for nearly half a century, after being broken by the Mongols, it was no surprise that it enjoyed the fate of being slaughtered.
As far as the situation in the world at that time was concerned, Shu and the Southern Dynasties were almost simultaneously attacked by the Mongols, and after the two places were breached, the Mongols had no opponents in Asia.
The swords and guns are put into storage, and the grassland iron horsemen who put their horses in Nanshan naturally don't care about the feelings of the people in the new territory anymore. In their eyes, these people are their slaves, and the only value of their existence is to provide themselves with wealth and to kill when they are happy or unhappy. In fact, for a long time, they called these people two-legged sheep!
This title was not changed until Zhu Yuanzhang led the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to drive them back to the grassland. Among the four classes of people divided into Mongolia, the lowest southerners include the Sichuanese!
As the lowest of the human race, the Sichuan people not only had to face the unscrupulous bullying and killing of other superior people, but also bore the most onerous taxes and labor.
Almost all the people of Shu are living on the line of survival, and they can feel it all the time, maybe the next moment, they will die. In this case, it is not surprising that the village looks dilapidated.
Following the enthusiastic villagers into the mountain village, Song Qingshu said to the village chief, the old man just now, that he wanted to find a place to rest for a while because he was too tired from killing the Yuan soldiers just now. It was not until this time that he learned that this old man's surname was Zhang, and people called him Zhang.
As a matter of fact, more than 90 percent of the villagers in Zhangjia Village are surnamed Zhang! People with the same surname live in the same place for self-protection, and this was a very normal thing in ancient times.
Mr. Zhang enthusiastically prepared the best house in the village for Song Qingshu, which was his own home. Song Qingshu thanked him and walked in alone.
As for Bai Mao and Bai Yun, they have already played with many villagers, and with the spread of Song Qingshu's deeds, Bai Mao and Bai Yun, who have been following him, are also known as divine apes and divine horses, and are highly sought after by these people. The people always liked to deify what they worshipped.
Zhou Zhiruo wanted to go in with Song Qingshu, but was rejected by Song Qingshu, he needed to be alone and quiet, so that he could think about what to do next.
However, the general who had been tied behind Bai Yun by him was tied to the big tree at the door of Song Qingshu's room again. This guy has suffered a lot all the way, and the angry people have thrown stones and clods of earth at him.
The person he needs to be thanked the most for living until now is Song Qingshu, if it weren't for the people who thought that Song Qingshu had other intentions for leaving him, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. Although at this time, he hated Song Qingshu and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Of course, Song Qingshu didn't leave him because of any good intentions. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that when he was about to kill him, a message came from the Heavenly Fortune Stone in his body, which made him have to consider whether the Yuan General in front of him had a higher use value, he would have already become Song Shaoxia's luck with his dozen or so subordinates!
Song Qingshu's unremitting efforts to kill bandits and bandits during this period of time were undoubtedly effective, and his luck had gradually approached the 1,000-point mark. And just when he killed the last two Yuan soldiers in front of the Yuan General, the accumulation of luck finally changed from quantitative to qualitative, and a thousand points of luck were perfected, and he achieved the red peak life!
When the destiny reaches the peak of this stage, the heavenly machine operates, the task is generated, the task is completed, the destiny is broken, the mission fails, the luck is reversed, and the body and soul are destroyed!
And the moment Song Qingshu reached the peak of the red life grid, the task of the Heavenly Fortune Stone was teleported to his mind. "Save Pingwu County, which is doomed to destruction!"
At the moment of receiving the task, although Song Qingshu had not yet sorted out what was going on with this task, he still instinctively let this general go, and he had a feeling that this general had greater use value for himself.
Song Qingshu didn't know how the tasks of the Heavenly Fortune Stone were generated, but he knew that the task of the Heavenly Fortune Stone was not generated for no reason. Every time he is generated, it is the product of heavenly induction.
In other words, every time he completes his mission, it will have a far-reaching impact, even changing the operation of the Heavenly Dao. From this point of view, the task of Tianyun Stone is traceable.
It's like when he rescued Zhang Cuishan and his wife in Wudang Mountain. On the surface, it seems that it is just saving an ordinary couple, but if you analyze it deeply, you will find that the meaning of this is extremely far-reaching.
Zhang Cuishan and his wife are not ordinary people, one of them is a disciple of Wudang, or even the next generation of Wudang, and the other is the daughter of the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, the Heavenly Eagle Sect is from the Ming Sect, and Yin Susu's identity can even be equivalent to the Holy Maiden of the Ming Sect.
Their combination can be seen as the marriage of Mingjiao and Wudang Mountain, and looking deeper, it can even be seen as the combination of the two major forces of good and evil in the martial arts.
In the current era of preserving the Han dynasty and resisting the Yuan court, the unity of good and evil in the martial arts can be imagined! No wonder in the original work, the Yuan court did everything possible to calculate Zhang Cuishan and his wife.
In Song Qingshu's view, what is looking for Xie Xun and what is seizing the dragon slaying knife, it is all a cover-up, a knife is just a weapon, even if it is a divine weapon, what is the use of a court?
Their real purpose is to force Zhang Cuishan and his wife to death, only in this way can they disintegrate the possible alliance of the two powerful forces of martial arts, good and evil, and effectively alleviate the crisis of the Yuan Court.
Sure enough, the death of Zhang Cuishan and his wife made the Mingjiao cut off the slightest hope of eliminating hatred with the various sects in the rivers and lakes and working together against the Yuan. Under the instigation of Yuan Ting, he began to kill with the various sects in the rivers and lakes.
When the Ming Sect rebelled against the Yuan and needed the support of the masters, many masters of the Ming Sect were entangled by the various factions of the martial arts, and they could not effectively support the rebels in various places.
If Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were still alive at the beginning, with the prestige of Zhang Sanfeng and the white-eyed eagle king in the good and evil factions, in the face of the provocation of the Yuan Court, they would not be able to clarify the misunderstanding and oppose the Yuan with one heart.
Although in the end, Mingjiao still resolved grievances with various major sects and fought against the Yuan with one heart, but that was already what Zhang Wuji did ten years later. Ten years was the time when the rebel army was surging, so it was delayed. If Zhang Cuishan and his wife hadn't died at the beginning, how many years could the anti-Yuan be earlier?
Of course, this is just Song Qingshu's own analysis, the Heavenly Dao derives everything, and everything in the underworld is arranged by the Heavenly Dao. In the face of the general trend of heaven, no one can say how much role Zhang Cuishan and his wife have.
But as the saying goes, the general trend is difficult to change, and the small trend is easy to reverse! And the small trend is reversed more, and the general trend will eventually be changed! Every reversal of the small trend is an impact on the general trend, and this impact will cause instant chaos in the general trend, and it is through this short-term chaos that the Tianyun Stone makes Song Qingshu break through the fate!
Song Qingshu has a hunch that as his breakthrough becomes stronger and stronger, the change in this general trend of heaven will become bigger and bigger, and one day, this general trend of heaven will be completely beaten to pieces by himself, and then he will be the only protagonist in this world, and the new general trend of heaven will be written by himself!
