In the Heavens

On February 2, the dragon raised its head.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

The flames of war at the border were raging, the emperor went to the fields to plow the fields, and the martial arts conference opened.

As an important part of Zhongtu Wulin, Huashan has played an important role since ancient times, and many Wulin legends have been passed down.

Especially after the rise of the Huashan faction, Huashan's weight in the hearts of martial arts people has increased a bit, and it has faintly become a holy place in the martial arts.

The martial arts conference is held again, which is quite different from the last time. Whether it is the number of participants or the status of the guests, it has been upgraded by more than one level.

Seeing the bustling martial arts conference, the hearts of Zen Master Guangren and his party were bleeding. The Huashan faction has gained face, but they are paying for the expenses.

Of course, they are not without gains. There is a big banner at the foot of Huashan, which says that Fahe Temple sponsors the martial arts conference.

Then there is no more. This wave of sponsorship not only did not receive favors, but made people in the world feel that they were too chasing after fame and fortune, and it was not the work of a real man.

Guangren is also very helpless, these are forcibly given by others. It's a beautiful name, you can't let them spend money for nothing, let everyone in the Jianghu know that there is still a big school in Guanzhong Wulin.

There is only one truth, that is for prostitution.

Who told the Huashan faction to raise money and food for disaster relief before, they cried poor and complained, and gave away whatever they wanted.

It forced the overlord to bow hard and ran over to force sponsorship. When Guangren received the news, the banners were hung up.

My apprentice ran to cry to his fellow Buddhists, but instead of receiving sympathy, he was educated on the moral high ground: monks should be empty of all things.

It made Guangren want to change his apprentice, which was really embarrassing. He couldn't figure out why his apprentice got into the eyes of money after he succeeded the abbot.

Of course, you can't completely blame your own apprentice. After all, Fahe Temple is not a real martial arts sect, and usually deals with high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and great businessmen, so it is understandable that they don't understand the rules of the world.

If you have been in the Jianghu, no one will complain to your fellow Jianghu: Sponsoring a public welfare event such as the martial arts conference is not worthwhile.

From the point of view of martial arts people, if everyone is willing to give you face and come to eat your banquet, it is to give you face. Under normal circumstances, you can't invite even if you want to.

Complaining about the high expenses is like saying to others: You are not qualified enough to allow us to entertain you like this.

Fortunately, I just complained to fellow Buddhists, and everyone saved face. Otherwise, they would not only be taught that the monks should be empty, but would turn their faces on the spot.

In order to prevent his disciples from making jokes again, Guangren had no choice but to go out and deal with various factions in person.

The effect was still obvious. With his status as a Buddhist sect boss, he quickly integrated into the circle. No one mentioned the unpleasantness before.

...

Looking at the guests all over the mountains and plains, Li Mu landed lightly in the center of the venue, arched his hands at the crowd and said:

"Everyone came from afar, and made our Huashan faction flourish. I thank you, the poor!"

"You are so polite!"

"It's really an honor for me to see the beauty of a real person!"

...

Everyone carried the bridal sedan chairs, and in front of Master Li Da, no one would say anything that would spoil the scenery.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Li Mu waved his hand to signal for silence, and said loudly:

"My generation is all people in the Jianghu, so I won't talk too much about the nonsense. The main reason for inviting everyone here today is because of the killing of heaven and earth.

Perhaps some fellows of the rivers and lakes already know it, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t know it. We have put the relevant information in Yuquan Palace, and those who are interested can check it later.

Every time the heaven and earth murders broke out, the world must be empty.

But that's because it happened to coincide with the end of the dynasty, and it coincided with the change of dynasty, and the murder and robbery coincided with the liquidation of humanity.

Now that the Heaven and Earth Tribulation is ahead of schedule, there is a glimmer of life for the people of China.

In order to survive the catastrophe, Emperor Shenwu has issued an expansion order, and the foreign races from all over the world have also chosen to invade the land of Shenzhou. Obviously, everyone has made the same choice.

Pindao invites you to come here, hoping to quell the disputes in the Jianghu, reduce internal friction in the martial arts, and unify the outside world, so as not to be taken advantage of by foreign races and repeat the old misfortunes of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties. "

After hearing Li Mu's words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. It just wants everyone to reduce fighting, and doesn't mention going to outside the territory to launch a murder, which makes everyone feel at ease.

Everyone has no objection to blaming others outside the region. As a decent family, there are not many families who like chaos in the world. At such a critical juncture, it is natural that a dead fellow Taoist would not die a poor daoist.

It would be difficult for everyone to kill them. In the eyes of everyone, the outside world is a barren land with no value at all.

Moreover, the foreign races outside the territory are extremely fierce, and there are many martial arts masters among them, who will lose their lives if they are not careful.

The most important thing is that I work hard in the front, while others enjoy the benefits in the back. If my family suffers heavy losses, they may even be copied from my hometown.

Human nature is complicated. Without enough benefits, if you want everyone to work together to expand outward, even the innate grandmaster can't do anything.

Since he couldn't do it, Li Mu naturally wouldn't do such a thankless thing. Now all he has to do is set the stage.

"Really Li, fellow Jiang Hu! I just received news that Shazhou Guard and Anding Guard fell, and the frontier troops from all over the country were dragged to the front line. There are no more soldiers in the northwest.

The Tartar army is sweeping across the northwest, and it will soon reach the front line of the Yellow River. Lanzhou is in danger, and Linzhaofu is in danger. Please help save the people in the northwest! "

While speaking, the head of Kongtong burst into tears.

In recent years, the Kongtong faction has been really miserable. First, the Demon Cult ran over to grab the territory, and then met King Anhua's rebellion.

It was hard to stabilize the situation, and there were severe droughts every now and then, and people's livelihoods in the entire Northwest were withered.

Before I could catch my breath, another major earthquake occurred. After such back and forth tossing, even the rich and powerful local families were slowly emptied of their wealth.

All industries withered, and the income of the Kongtong faction also plummeted. Kongtong, who was originally from the poor ghost sect, had a difficult life.

In order to reduce expenses, the number of disciples of the Kongtong Sect has dropped significantly. In recent years, the time for accepting disciples has even been extended.

I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet, and now the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has come to rob again, which is simply killing the Kongtong faction.

As a local sect in Northwest China, even if it doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, the family members of the disciples in the sect can't just ignore it, right?

To be precise, it is not only the Kongtong faction that is unlucky, but the entire martial arts forces in the Northwest are having a hard time.

Including the powerful Kunlun School and Tianshan School in the Western Regions, they have also been tossed by natural disasters in recent years, and they are not in sight.

Now the biggest source of income for Northwest Wulin is smuggling with grassland tribes. The former Silk Road is now full of "robbers" and it is impossible to get through.

The Huashan faction wants to march westward, and these Jianghu sects are all hardcore supporters. Only by killing the stumbling block of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, can everyone's life be easier.

"It's simply unreasonable. Hu Ren'an dares to deceive my Han family, and I will swear to them!"

"Kill the dog!"

"To destroy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is a shame with blood!"

...

Without waiting for the major forces to express their attitudes, a group of passionate martial arts fighters shouted frantically below, as if they had a blood feud with the barbarians and wanted to fight them to the death.

Seeing this movement, Li Mu knew that the scene in front of him was definitely revealing his true feelings. With a strong Northwestern accent, it will never fool anyone.

The barbarians have all killed at their door, even if there was no blood feud before, there will be soon now. As a member of the Northwest Wulin, one must be a staunch fighter.

There is never a shortage of hot-blooded men in the rivers and lakes, and when someone takes the lead, someone responds. Almost in an instant, the slogan of "kill the Hu" resounded throughout the world.

Sitting in front of the gangster, you look at me, I stare at you, and the eyeballs flicker and flicker, as if they are making eye contact.

You don't need to look at Li Mu to know what these guys are talking about. It's nothing more than complaining about the lack of technical content in the arrangement, which makes people misunderstand it at a glance.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate invaded the northwest, and everyone held a martial arts conference in Huashan, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

If it is the martial arts sect in northern Xinjiang, they can also use an excuse to go back to guard their hometown. If other people want to run away, the Huashan sect can release talents.

It's not easy to be a decent person from a famous family. While enjoying the benefits, you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities in the world.

Now that the Hu people are invading, the justice of the rivers and lakes and the righteousness of the nation are all superimposed together. If anyone dares to back down, he will never get mixed up in the rivers and lakes.

To blame can only be blamed on the leader of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, seeing how smart he is, he would rather go to attack Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhou and other places heavily guarded by the imperial court than come to the northwest to join in the fun.

Of course, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was also wronged. If there is a better choice, idiots come to the uninhabited northwest, mainly because of geographical restrictions.

There is no doubt that once they break through the checkpoint, they will definitely turn to grab the rich Bashu instead of coming to Guanzhong, a remote village to eat soil.

"Cough, cough!"

Deliberately mobilizing internal energy and coughing twice, signaling for everyone to quiet down, Li Mu waved his hand and said:

"Everyone in the rivers and lakes, please calm down. The barbarians are on the sidelines, and we will naturally not sit idly by.

However, fighting with soldiers is not like fighting in the rivers and lakes. There are no rules at all. The enemy is coming fiercely, and we have to be prepared.

Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu, you are martial arts seniors with a lot of experience, you might as well give us some advice, so that we can have a clear idea. "

The bigwigs sitting in the front row were all dumbfounded. Before they could do anything, they were represented to join the battle.

However, Li Mu not only has a high status in the world, but also his words are impeccable, so there is no room for them to criticize.

Look at Fangzheng and Chongxu who were set up, they are all confused now, there is no such content in the script, okay!

To be exact, they haven't even seen the script. Some are just a tacit understanding between the big forces. Many things don't need to be communicated directly, and everyone knows what to do.

Master Fangzheng was the first to speak: "When it comes to using troops to fight, I don't have any experience. But I'm a member of the rivers and lakes, so I don't need to pay attention to the tactics of war.

Compared with the prairie cavalry, our biggest advantage is our strong single-man combat effectiveness, and our biggest disadvantage is that we are not suitable for frontal combat with an army.

The barbarians are here to rob, and they will definitely split up after breaking the barrier. This is our chance.

One hundred and eighty cavalry, we can be wiped out with a flick of our fingers. Cavalry with less than a thousand men will not pose much threat to us. "

Without bragging, Shaolin Temple is really not afraid of cavalry with less than 1,000 soldiers. Even if he was alone, Fang Zheng would not be afraid.

Once the top masters let go of their integrity, they will continue to follow, poison and sneak attack, and it is very possible to kill a thousand-man team.

After all, the endurance of ordinary cavalry is limited, and they will be exhausted after a few hours of support, which is far less durable than martial arts masters.

After glancing at the heroes, Daoist Chongxu added: "Master Fangzheng is right, we have had the disadvantage of confronting barbarian cavalry in the past.

To deal with the barbarian cavalry, it is best to let go of the rules of the rivers and lakes. Constant sneak attacks and plots gradually reduced their strength.

We can form teams according to the characteristics of martial arts. If we have colleagues who are good at light skills, concealed weapons, poisoning, and strong attacks, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

According to past experience in dealing with Mongolian Yuan cavalry, it is best to use a group of ten or twenty people, or a group of thirty or fifty people.

If the number is too small, it is difficult to threaten a large group of cavalry; if the number is too large, it is difficult to hide their whereabouts.

If you encounter a large group of enemy cavalry, you will run away after the sneak attack. As long as we don't fight them head-on, the barbarians can't do anything to us. "

For newcomers in the Jianghu, the experience of fighting the enemy imparted by the two big brothers obviously refreshed the three views. But if it falls into the eyes of the old Jianghu, it is the words of the old man seeking the country.

Being able to kill the enemy while saving your life is the perfect strategy. As for the rules of the rivers and lakes, it has nothing to do with the barbarian cavalry.

After hearing what the two said, Li Mu was also very satisfied. Obviously, these two high-end political players are not without a bottom line.

At the critical moment involving national righteousness, I still took out the dry goods at the bottom of the box, and didn't have time to shout a few slogans to fool people to death.

It doesn't matter if everyone listens or not. If someone really wanted to commit suicide, even a god would not be able to stop him.

I didn't expect to collide with the name of the scenic spot, and now it has been changed.
