The four major families in the Jianghu family were originally incompatible with each other because of the struggle for status in the Jianghu family.
Tangmen and Xiaoyaomen, although one is in central Sichuan and the other is in Hangzhou, the two sects are far apart. They are all four major families, so their strength is naturally very strong, and each of them has been prosperous for a while.
When Ren Xiaoyao was young, he used to have lofty ambitions and ambitions, and he did not look down upon any other sects in the world. Tangmen is a martial arts family and one of the nine traditional sects in the world. If Ren Xiaoyao wants to dominate the world, he will inevitably conflict with the Tang Sect. The two sects even fought at the Taishan Conference, which directly led to the decline of Xiaoyao Sect.
The power of the Tang Sect has never been weak, and Tang Mugong is not without his desire to dominate the world. It's just that in the world, besides Xiaoyao Sect, there are two other major families that are restricting the Tang Sect from the north and the south. It is not easy for the Tang Sect to become the dominant family.
The relationship between the four major families has never been very good. However, in this martial arts conference, the relationship between the Tang Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect has unexpectedly improved. And they eventually became a team to fight against the Temple and the Poisonous Beast Gap together.
Although this matter may seem unbelievable on the surface, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
First of all, the heads of Tang Sect and Xiaoyao Sect, Tang Mugong and Ren Xiaoyao, are both in their twilight years and no longer have the ambitions of the past. Secondly, although they all had the ambition to dominate the world, they were only driven by fame and fortune when they were young and vigorous. In fact, their own moral character has always been kind, benevolent and tolerant, and they have never done anything illegal. The dirty things of Jianghu morality. Although they have ambitions, they are also righteous people in the world. Compared with Sheng Lingren, who is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, and Gui Daozi, who is cunning and sinister, the two of them are obviously true heroes in the world.
In fact, this time Ren Xiaoyao led Xiaoyao Sect disciples back to the world, it was not without conflicts with the Tang Sect. When Tian Shilie first entered Sichuan, he was injured by two Tang Sect masters, Tang Sitian and Tang Sihai. Tang Mugong also fought against Ren Xiaoyao. However, later facts proved that this was all a misunderstanding.
Of course, the two factions were able to turn their hostility into friendship, and Prince Xiao and the fifth line still played a big role. If they hadn't investigated the official bank case clearly, they would not have been able to clear the suspicions of these two groups. Not necessarily, there will be constant conflicts between them over this matter.
After this martial arts conference, the feud between the Tang Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect has long been resolved, and the two sects seem to have become world-wide friends.
Perhaps it is precisely because the older generations such as Tang Mugong and Ren Xiaoyao are open-minded, and the younger generation Huang Jishan and Tang Zhong have no conflicts of interest, so they can treat each other with sincerity.
However, in the martial arts competition, both Tang Sect and Xiaoyao Sect also suffered a big blow. Ren Xiaoyao, the spiritual pillar of Xiaoyao Sect, this was the first time in his decades of walking around that he was seriously injured. Although the other party used a secret attack, it still proved one thing, he was indeed a little old. The same goes for Tang Mugong, Tang Muxian, and Tang Muhe. The three of them were injured at the same time, and the impact on the Tang Sect was undoubtedly huge. Because no one can estimate what the Tang Sect will become after the four elders of the Tang Sect are gone.
The Tang Sect was originally famous for its numerous talents and masters, which is the main reason why it has become the largest sect in the world today.
However, in a turbulent time, this will also become its Achilles heel. Because, if there is no good leader to lead this group of people, then there will definitely be civil strife in the Tang Sect. The third elder has no children and is very old, so Tang Mugong will definitely not pass on the position of sect leader to his three younger brothers. But if Tang Mugong passes the position of sect leader to his son or his grandson, then it will obviously be difficult for these juniors to suppress the three elders.
Nowadays, both factions are in the process of handing over power, but Xiaoyao Sect is obviously much clearer than Tang Sect. Because Xiaoyao Sect now seems to have only one person suitable for the position of the sect leader, and it is naturally Huang Jishan.
Originally, there was a big chaos in the palace, and the Queen Mother was trying to use Princess Qingying's wedding to celebrate the wedding. She didn't want to show off her hot face to the cold ass of the fifth line, but instead made it a little embarrassing for Tang Mu Gong, Ren Xiaoyao and many other guests who were waiting for the wedding banquet.
Ren Xiaoyao, Tang Mugong, Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian were all seriously injured during the martial arts competition. In addition, all four of them were old and recovered very slowly, so they never recovered.
But there was no other way, they still had to leave. After this battle, Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong are now more open-minded.
Life lasts only a few decades, and there are many disasters, illnesses, and hardships in it. Why do you want to burden yourself with the shackles of fame and fortune?
Since there was nothing to do, Ren Xiaoyao simply invited everyone from the Tang Sect to his Xiaoyao Sect in Hangzhou.
Since the Guanyin case happened, the Tang family has been nervous. It would be great to take this time to travel around and have fun. Tang Mugong has no reason to disagree.
Since there were not yet four seriously ill people among the two factions, they rented four large carriages, only for the four injured elders to ride, while the other young and strong people still rode horses.
A large group of people came from the south, stopping and watching, watching and playing, it was so lively.
Among all the people, there is only one person who has the strangest mount. He rides neither in a carriage nor on horseback, but rides a giant wild boar. Of course this person is Tang Zhong, and only he can have such ability.
There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Hangzhou is undoubtedly a good place.
Since the founding of Xiaoyaomen, the general helm has been located in Hangzhou, and based on this, it has gradually developed its power in other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and soon became the leader of the martial arts in the seven provinces of the south of the Yangtze River.
Because Ren Xiaoyao's reputation as the best master in the world was too loud, Xiaoyao Sect quickly dominated the south of the Yangtze River shortly after its establishment. Its power reached the Yellow River in the north and Huguang in the west. It directly compressed the Poisonous Beast Gorge into a corner of Guangxi, making it difficult to expand northward.
Nowadays, although the Xiaoyao Sect seems to be declining, Ren Xiaoyao is still around after all. The heroes of the seven provinces must still give Ren Xiaoyao face, and no one dares to look down on the Xiaoyao Sect.
However, the reason why Xiaoyao Sect can become the leader of the seven provinces in Jiangnan is not just because Ren Xiaoyao is the best master in the world. The main reason is that Xiaoyaomen is actually the leader of the martial arts people from all walks of life along the Jiangnan coast who united to fight against the Japanese pirates at sea.
Japanese pirates have been a problem in rivers, lakes and coastal areas for a long time. Although the imperial court was determined to suppress them, it was difficult to identify their traces, so it was never able to eradicate this problem.
The imperial court's repeated campaigns failed, and the people had to arm themselves to fight against the Japanese pirates. Naturally, the main force among the people to resist the Japanese pirates were the righteous men of various martial arts sects.
Originally, these civilian forces were very scattered and could not communicate with one order, so they were often defeated by Japanese pirates one by one. After Ren Xiaoyao discovered this situation, he united the anti-Japanese people in the Jiangnan coastal provinces, and then formed an anti-Japanese alliance. He also established anti-Japanese yizhuang and sub-rudders in various coastal areas, taking care of each other and coordinating each other, and striving to gather The military forces from seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River came together to fight against the Japanese pirates.
