Everyone knows that there is a shortage of masters in Shaolin and martial arts, and the martial arts world is dominated by four major families.
Tangmen in Central Sichuan, Temple in Beijing, Xiaoyaomen in Hangzhou, and Dushouxia in Guangxi, these four major families dominate one area and each expands their power, seeming to have the intention of unifying the world. It's just that the power of the four major families has always been about the same, and they have restrained each other for many years. They have joined forces vertically and horizontally, divided and combined, and fought for many years, but no one has taken too much advantage, and no one can destroy the other.
However, even so, Hangzhou Xiaoyaomen suffered heavy losses because its director Xiaoyao was too ambitious when he was young. If not, it really has a chance to unify the world and dominate the world. Now that the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect has learned from the painful experience, he has successively recalled the masters of the sect, as if he is planning to make a comeback.
Although the Tang Sect is powerful, the sect leader Tang Mugong is already old and has no intention of competing for hegemony. The choice of the new sect master is still difficult to decide. If Tang Siji, the eldest son of Duke Mu of the Tang Dynasty, had not died, the Tang Sect would soon be able to replace the young and old at the head of the family, and the chances of dominating the world would be greatly increased. But now, Tang Mugong is often too busy taking care of himself, and can't find a suitable successor, so he can no longer care about dominating the world.
The temple is prosperous, based on the capital, growing under the emperor's feet, and secretly cooperating with Dongchang. Its natural power is also extraordinary. Originally, today's temple was the most likely to dominate the world. However, Sheng Lingren made a mistake and lost everything. Because of the Guan Yin case, he offended the most powerful prince in the court, Prince Xiao, which suddenly made him lose a lot of power. It's just that the new emperor of the imperial court has just ascended the throne, and King Xiao doesn't seem to want to use force. Therefore, even though King Xiao caught Sheng Lingren's hand, he didn't attack him for a while, and even let his eldest son go.
In fact, everyone knows exactly what happened in the official bank case. Prince Xiao and His Majesty are not fools, nor are Sheng Ling and Shi Zhong. However, the two major factions in the court are still evenly matched at the moment. Therefore, although Prince Xiao has military power in his hands, he still has to worry about the safety of the Emperor and the capital. He didn't even dare to take the lead in attacking.
When you still can't defeat your opponent, you can only learn to be patient first.
The emperor had just ascended to the throne, and King Xiao had just gained military power. However, Shi Zhong, the Duke of Dongchangchang, was a relic of the late emperor, and the power of the government was still in his hands. Sheng Ling's people in Zhili, the capital, also responded to the call. If everyone really wants to fight, it's not necessarily clear who will have the upper hand.
Sheng Ling is a reckless person who is not afraid of wearing shoes on his bare feet. If you dare to touch him, he will definitely rebel. But if the emperor and King Xiao act on their own initiative, if they lose, they will lose their entire country. This is a risk that King Xiao will not dare to take. Therefore, in fact, there is still a secret battle between Xiao Wang, Sheng Lingren, and Shi Zhong, and it depends on who can gain the upper hand first, and whoever can gain the upper hand first, and even cause the other party to die.
As for Dushou Gorge, it has always been located in a corner of Guangxi. Although it claims to be a Central Plains sect, it is actually not well received. Its power is not weak, but it still faces considerable resistance if it wants to penetrate deep into the Central Plains.
Wei Yan had heard before that many important people would come to Furong Tower tonight, but she still didn't expect that these important people would be so big, and even the emperor would come.
Tang Mugong had a very good relationship with Prince Xiao, so he decided to meet him first. However, when Tang Mugong saw the young man, he was still startled and almost knelt down. Obviously, Tang Mugong had met the young man and naturally knew his identity. But the young man immediately stopped it, probably because he was afraid of revealing his identity! After Tang Mugong and the three elders met with Xiao Wang and others, they saw the man with gray beard and gray hair. They seemed to feel familiar, but they were not sure.
"Are you, Brother Zhang?" Tang Mugong asked tentatively.
"After all these years, brother, you still remember me?" The Chinese-haired old man replied with a smile.
"Haha! If it is really you, I thought that I would live in seclusion in the mountains for the rest of my life and never come out again!" Tang Mugong sighed.
"After so many years, you and I are getting old, so it's time to come out and meet old friends!" the Huafa old man replied.
"Haha! It should, indeed it should. Let's say goodbye first and chat later!" After Tang Mugong finished speaking, he went to the other side with the three elders.
Wei Yan originally thought that Tang Mugong was going to say hello to Ren Xiaoyao, but she saw that the four of them went directly to Sheng Lingren. They only exchanged greetings for a few times and then came back immediately, but they did not meet Master Ren alone. .
"Could it be that Grandpa already knew that Master Ren was deliberately trying to harm him, so he deliberately left Xiaoyao Sect in the cold?" Wei Yan thought to herself.
Tang Mugong and Sheng Lingren were enemies to begin with, but they had to deal with it for the sake of face, so they certainly wouldn't talk much. Soon, they had finished meeting, and Tang Mugong and the three elders came back immediately.
"Grandpa, why don't you go see Sect Master Ren? Could it be that they are secretly framing our Tang Sect?" Wei Yan finally had the chance to ask.
"We have met Master Ren a long time ago. If he hadn't come to help in time, I'm afraid your three grandfathers and several uncles and I would still be killing each other! There are other people who harmed us. He will do it later. It should be here soon." Listening to Grandpa's tone, he had obviously figured out what was going on.
"Who are those people over at Prince Xiao? They seem to have a lot of backgrounds!" Wei Yan asked again.
"That young man is the current emperor, so don't talk nonsense, and the guards around him are also imperial guards." Tang Mugong answered Wei Yan in a low voice.
"That old man with a colorful beard, at such an old age, is he also a royal guard?" Wei Yan didn't seem to believe it.
"Oh! He is not, he is an outsider who has lived in seclusion for many years. When Ren Xiaoyao was still at the height of his power, he was the only one in the world who could compete with him. Because he was good at water power, he was People give him the nickname Rain God, but his real name is Zhang Yu. He has been living in seclusion for decades since he was defeated in a martial arts competition with Ren Xiaoyao. Now that he suddenly came out of the mountain, it seems that his purpose is not simple!" Tang Mu Gong said to everyone carefully. .
"Is that old man Zhang Yuzhang, who was known as the God of Rain back then?" Jade Rakshasa had only heard of this name, but had never seen this person before, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, he is the rain god Zhang Yu. Oh! Also, I recently heard that Zhong'er's sworn brother Jian Ying Wu Xing is Zhang Yu's disciple." Tang Mugong suddenly remembered this matter, so he immediately added.
"What happened to the three grandfathers?" Wei Yan asked again.
Just as Tang Mugong was about to answer, he suddenly saw a large group of people entering the door. As soon as this group of people came in, everyone became a little nervous. Even the most powerful top master like Sheng Lingren couldn't help but move slightly, and actually stood up and stared at the group of people. The leader was also an old man, with a sinister and evil aura all over his body, as if he was an evil ghost that suddenly appeared from hell.
"Oh my god! This man looks like a ghost. If it were at night, he would really scare people to death." Wei Yan sighed.
"His real name is Gui Daozi, doesn't he look like a ghost?" Tang Mugong replied with a smile.
"That cat with a severed tail." Tang Zhong's sharp eyes had already seen someone behind Kidaozi holding the strange cat with a severed tail.
"Grandpa, there is something weird about that cat, and it may be related to the three grandpas killing people at night!" Wei Yan reminded hurriedly.
Before Tang Mugong could answer, Tang Muxiang said bitterly: "Yan'er, we have known for a long time that it is this old ghost who is secretly harming us and almost cost us three nights! What a vicious old ghost!"
As soon as the second grandpa said these words, Wei Yan was stunned. She never expected that the grandpas would know better than her.
