The Qing Dynasty.
Since the last battle between the Golden Palace and the Jianzong, which triggered a war between various factions in the world and the forces such as Tianzong, Tianzun, and the Sun and Moon God Sect who came from the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's rivers and lakes, which were originally not peaceful, began to stir up even greater turmoil. of waves.
Just like a pot of water that was already warm, suddenly passed the boiling stage and started to boil directly.
Just over a month.
First, the rebels led by the five major anti-Qing forces, the Beggar Gang, the White Lotus Sect, the Taiping Sect, the Tiandi Hui, and the Honghua Hui, caused turmoil and raised the flag of rebellion in various parts of the Qing Dynasty.
Many forces such as the Shenlong Sect and the Xuanming Sect also took the opportunity to cause trouble, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil without paying any attention to the Qing court.
Not long after, Jian Zong, with the assistance of Tianzun, Tianzong and the Sun and Moon Sect, appeared again and continued to attack the two forces in the northwest, with no concealment of his ambition to unify the world.
The first to be destroyed was the Wufu Alliance located in the central and northern parts of the Qing Dynasty.
During this period, some incidents occurred.
For example, the leader of the Sun Moon God Cult was said to have killed Daidai, the owner of the Sunset Racecourse, Situ Xiao, when he was destroying the Sunset Racecourse of the Five Blessings Alliance.
It is said that Wen Daidai accidentally went out and was spotted by Old Thunder Whip, the 'Thunder Saint' among the Four Saints of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning in 'Bi Luo Fu', and wanted to kidnap her back to be his daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect to be killed by Dongfang Bubai.
When the old man Lei Bian learned about this, he was furious and immediately found Dongfang Bubai.
The old man Thunder Whip was worthy of being the famous 'Thunder Sage'. During the battle between the two, Dongfang Bubai was severely injured and was also chased by the old man Thunder Whip.
I thought that it would not be long before Dongfang Invincible would fall into the hands of Old Man Thunder Whip.
Unexpectedly, in just over half a month, news of the death of Old Man Leibian suddenly came to the world.
Suddenly, the entire world was shaken.
A top grandmaster in Biluo Fu died like this? !
Many people did not believe this and sent spies to find out the news.
But when the details of this incident were known, the world was instantly in an uproar!
Because not only did they learn about the death of Old Man Thunder Whip, but they also learned something even more shocking than Old Man Thunder Whip’s death——
The top power in the world, the Shaolin Temple, the holy land of Buddhism known as the "Martial Sect of the World", was wiped out!
Hundreds of monks in Shaolin all died overnight!
Blood dyed the entire Shaolin Temple red!
Within two days, the entire Shaolin Temple was burned down by a fire!
Once this incident came out, the entire Qing Dynasty was shocked.
Shaolin Temple is not only a top force in the world, but also has a very high status among the people. Even the Qing court was very afraid of it and did not dare to provoke it.
After all, Shaolin Temple is a holy place for Buddhism and has a group of extremely fanatical believers among the people.
Coupled with its long history that has been passed down for thousands of years.
It can be said that Shaolin Temple is at the top of the Qing Dynasty not only in terms of strength but also status, and no one dares to underestimate it.
But such a transcendent force was wiped out so silently? !
For a time, there was a tremor all over the Qing Dynasty, and everyone was in danger.
The initiator of all this, Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, has also become the target of public criticism.
Because according to the latest information, it is said that it was because Dongfang Bubai was injured by Old Man Leibian. In order to heal his injuries, he went to the Shaolin Temple to steal the Great Return Pill, which led to the death of Old Man Leibian and the destruction of the Shaolin Temple.
But with Dongfang Bubai's strength, he definitely couldn't do this, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured by the old man Thunder Whip.
But who actually destroyed Shaolin?
This matter has caused a lot of discussion and different opinions.
Some people say that it was a hidden powerful man who couldn't stand the Shaolin Temple and destroyed it.
Although Shaolin Temple is known as a holy land of Buddhism and is compassionate, we all know what Shaolin Temple has done over the years and some dirty things about Shaolin monks.
Some people even dislike the Shaolin Temple for a long time, just because the Shaolin Temple has profound heritage and huge strength and they dare not offend it.
Now that Shaolin Temple has been destroyed, I don’t know how many people are secretly gloating about it.
Some people also suspect that the forces behind Dongfang Invincible took action.
After all, there were rumors in the world before that the four top forces from the Ming Dynasty, Jian Zong, Tian Zong, Tian Zun and Sun Moon God Sect, all had the shadow of the Ming Dynasty behind them.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to use the hands of these forces to unify the Qing Dynasty and take action against the Qing Dynasty.
So it is self-evident who took action to destroy the Shaolin Temple.
There is just no evidence, and many people can only speculate in private.
Moreover, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was turbulent at the moment.
The White Lotus Sect, the Beggar Clan and other rebel forces were at war with the Qing court.
Forces such as Jian Zong and Tian Zong are stirring up trouble in the world again, trying to unify the world.
Countless forces are in danger, fearing that they will be implicated, and they dare not take the lead at all.
Therefore, most of these rumors are only circulated among the people or some second- and third-rate forces.
Although the real high-level officials, or some of the top forces in the world, were also shocked by this incident, they paid more attention to the signals behind the destruction of the Shaolin Temple.
From the rise of the Jianzong in the Qing Dynasty, to the reinforcement of the Golden Palace by various sects, and then the imperial court intervened to encircle and suppress the external forces such as the Jianzong and Tianzong, then the White Lotus Sect, the Beggar Clan and other forces raised their flags to rebel, and then to Shaolin Temple was destroyed...
Behind all this, there seems to be a big hand pushing things forward.
Let’s think about the rumor that spread in the world after the battle in the Golden Palace.
Anyone who is interested can guess who this disruptor is——
Daming Xichang Gong, Yuhuatian!
Thinking of the Qing Dynasty's alliance with the Yuan Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty a year ago, countless forces felt like a mirror, fearful and uneasy, and secretly sighed:
"The Ming Dynasty's counterattack has begun!"
——
Kyoto and Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty.
Monk Gelinqin, the king of Zhasakdoro County, who had previously led troops to the Golden Palace to encircle and suppress various martial arts sects, stood respectfully in the yard, raised his hands to a figure in front of him with his back turned, and said:
"Your Majesty, the Shaolin Temple was destroyed. Everything was burned cleanly, and no evidence was left!"
"Really? The corpses and buildings can be burned, and the gold and silver treasures accumulated by the Shaolin Temple for so many years can also be burned?" The figure turned around slowly and asked lightly.
I saw this man wearing a python robe, with majestic appearance and extraordinary majesty. His long hair was loose on the back of his head and his eyes were shining. He was about half a hundred years old, but his face was fair and plump. There were a few fine lines in the corners of his eyes. If he were younger, It should look good.
This person is none other than the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Dorgon.
Seng Gelinqin was startled for a moment, and then said: "How about asking someone to take a look at this humble job?"
"No need to go!"
Dorgon said calmly: "This matter should be done by Yu Huatian."
"Yuhuatian?!" Seng Gelinqin's pupils shrank.
Dorgon nodded slightly and said: "I have sent people to the Ming Dynasty to inquire about it. Not only Yuhuatian, but also the masters under him have not shown up for almost a year."
Seng Gelinqin felt a chill in his heart and said: "It seems that the previous rumors of the Qinglong Society are true. This eunuch should have already sneaked into our Qing Dynasty!"
Dorgon nodded and said: "These days, he should be responsible for everything in the world, including the turmoil of the White Lotus Sect and the Beggar Clan, and his shadow may be behind it."
Seng Gelinqin's face was solemn: "Your Majesty, this person should not be underestimated! He has unified the world with the help of the Sword Sect, and is pushing forces like the White Lotus Sect to cause turmoil behind the scenes. I'm afraid he is preparing to use a two-pronged approach to stir up turmoil in the Qing Dynasty from within. , when the Qing Dynasty is completely in chaos, he will ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to attack the Qing Dynasty!"
"This king knows."
Dorgon said lightly.
When the Yuan and Qing Dynasties joined forces to conquer the Ming Dynasty, it was because of Yuhuatian that they finally fell short. Naturally, he would not underestimate this person.
"It's a pity that this eunuch was hidden very deep. He disappeared for a year and never showed up. He just allowed the Sword Sect, Tian Sect and other forces to cause trouble in the Jianghu. And these forces belong to the Jianghu, so we can't directly intervene. It's really Damn it!" Seng Gelinqin said bitterly.
The world of the imperial court has always been at odds with each other.
Especially in their Qing Dynasty, this phenomenon was even more serious.
Because the Qing Dynasty was founded by the Manchus, and most of the people in the world were from the Central Plains.
Once the imperial court takes action against Jianghu and breaks this rule, those Jianghu people will definitely join forces to deal with the imperial court.
At that time, the court will also be very passive.
After all, those people are not good in the world. They act without rules and regulations and have no scruples. In addition, they are good at martial arts. It is difficult for ordinary Qing troops to deal with them.
"It's not a bad thing for him to take action on Jianghu!"
Dorgon said suddenly.
"A good thing?" Seng Gelinqin was stunned for a moment, a little confused. How could this be a good thing?
Dorgon chuckled lightly and explained: "These rebellious officials and traitors in the world have always been a thorn in my heart. If I don't pull them out, I will always feel uncomfortable."
"With the strength of the imperial court, it is not afraid of these rivers and lakes forces. However, these rivers and lakes forces are scattered everywhere and can affect the whole body. If they cannot be wiped out in a short time, it will not take long for these forces to return. They will resurrect, that’s why I can tolerate them for such a long time.”
"Moreover, these lowly Central Plains people have always been very repulsive to us Manchus. It is not convenient for us to take action directly, otherwise it will expand the dispute and cause greater unrest."
"These are the two reasons why I have not touched these forces in the world."
As he spoke, Dorgon's eyes flashed and he said, "However, it is not convenient for me to take action, but he has no such concerns."
"Let him help me to get rid of some disobedient forces, and then I will deal with them. Wouldn't this save a lot of effort!"
Hearing this, Seng Gelinqin's eyes suddenly lit up:
"It turns out that the prince actually had this idea!"
It’s so high!
Let's use Yuhuatian's hand to get rid of some Jianghu forces. Then the court will only need to deal with Yuhuatian.
Seng Gelinqin looked at Dorgon with admiration.
