At this time, the Yuan Dynasty and the Chagatai Khanate had already divided the Ogodei Khanate, but the Chagatai Khanate had just begun to split. The ruling group was fighting for power within the ruling group, and the political situation was turbulent. In the Yuan Dynasty, the emperors changed frequently, and the Mongolian nobles were in civil strife. Continuously. Whether it was the Yuan Dynasty or the Chagatai Khanate, their control over the Western Regions further weakened, which gave the Mingjiao the best opportunity to rise.
Yang Xiao is very talented, but after all, he is young and just a simple person in the world.
Xie Xun stayed in Guangmingding for one year and taught Yang Xiao how to handle government affairs. Seeing that everything in the Ming Cult was gradually getting on the right track and in order, and that the power of the Ming Cult had penetrated into Central Asia, he handed over the affairs of the Ming Cult to Yang Xiao, and with the help of Fan Yao and Wu San people, he planned to go to the Central Plains.
Lu Zhiqing has not been back home since she married Xie Xun. Now that her child is three years old, it is time to go home and see her. Moreover, her mother and sister have been with her all the time, and they both feel homesick.
Xie's father and Xie's mother also wanted to go back to Xiejia Village, but Xie Xun always had a shadow on Cheng Kun in his heart. Although he is not afraid of martial arts now, Cheng Kun's power is far more than just his martial arts. The most powerful thing is his heart poison and plot poison. Xie Xun firmly disagreed with the two elders going home, saying that the world was too chaotic and the road was dangerous.
Although the two elders were homesick, they still followed Xie Xun's advice and stayed in Guangmingding.
During Xie Xun's trip, the top Mingjiao leaders only brought Dai Qisi, the purple-robed Dragon King. This year, Dai Qisi has been playing the role of Xie Xun's personal secretary and assistant at Guangmingding, assisting Xie Xun in handling academic affairs. She also has a very close relationship with Lu Zhiqing, and Xie Xun has become accustomed to having her by his side.
Fifty elites were selected from the Five Elements Flags to accompany them, and the group came to the Central Plains.
As soon as Xie Xun entered the Central Plains, the world was shocked.
As a result, the Ming Cult gained great momentum this year, sweeping through the martial arts in the Western Regions, completely controlling the political and economic forces in the Western Regions, and even implementing military occupation of parts of the Western Regions. The Mongols' control over the Western Regions further weakened. If the Western Region had not been vast and sparsely populated, and its population resources were too weak, which restricted the development of the Mingjiao, the Mingjiao might have controlled the entire Western Region. A very important population policy now is to attract immigrants.
Second, Xie Xun's own martial arts skills shocked the martial arts world. The arrival of this big devil in the Central Plains made all the forces in the world feel frightened, especially the factions that had besieged Guangmingding. They were very afraid that Xie Xun would take revenge.
Xie Xun and his party passed by Kongtong Mountain, and the leader of the Kongtong faction, Yunliang, personally went to the foot of the mountain to greet them.
The Kongtong Sect did not try their best when besieging Guangmingding. Although they did not form a deep hatred with the Mingjiao, they were provoking the Mingjiao after all. With the current strength of the Mingjiao, they could never afford to offend them. Moreover, Xie Xun’s martial arts also made the entire Kongtong Sect fear.
Yunliang could feel that in this year, several major sects seemed to be inseparable, and it was difficult to join forces. The Kongtong sect alone could never offend the Mingjiao. He hoped to resolve the war with the Mingjiao and make Xie Xun forget that the Kongtong sect besieged Guangming. The top thing.
As the head of the sect and a martial arts senior, Yunliang kept his posture very low. When he saw Xie Xun and his party, he stepped forward first, cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Pindao is the leader of the Kongtong sect, Yunliang. I have seen him before." Mingjiao thanks the leader."
When Xie Xun heard that he was the leader of the Kongtong Sect, he quickly got off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Taoist Master Yunliang. I'm glad to meet you!"
Yun Li said: "Master Xie is a guest from afar. Since he passed by my Kongtong, I prepared some tea and wanted to invite Master Xie to go up the mountain and talk about it."
Xie Xun looked at his group of people and found it difficult to refuse, thinking that they would not dare to plot against him.
Xie Xun said: "Sorry to bother you."
Yunliang waved his hand sideways and said: "Please!"
Xie Xun and his entourage were allowed to go up Kongtong Mountain, and the guests and hosts were seated separately.
Yunliang first offered a cup of tea and said: "Thank you, Master, a few days ago, a few of my disciples overestimated their capabilities and broke into Guangmingding without permission. I would also like to thank the Master for showing mercy, so that they could come back safely. I am also a poor disciple." I would like to apologize to Master Xie from the Kongtong Sect."
Xie Xun said: "It doesn't matter. We, the Mingjiao, no longer want to interfere in the affairs of the Jianghu. We are now working hard to manage the Western Regions with the purpose of driving away the Mongols, and we have no time to take care of the grievances in the world. There is no deep hatred between Kongtong and the Mingjiao. It is also a good thing to turn the conflict into friendship. thing."
Yunliang heard Xie Xun's tone of voice. The Mingjiao no longer looked down on the grievances in the world. They were interested in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Yunliang was in awe, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Thank you to the leader, the Kongtong Sect will never be an enemy of the Ming Cult in the future."
Xie Xun said: "Then thank you, Taoist Master. Resisting the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan is a matter for all of us Han people. The Kongtong sect is superb in martial arts and has an endless stream of talented people. If you intend to participate in the great cause of anti-Yuan, you can also join our Mingjiao. We are of the same mind. Work together to achieve great things.”
Yunliang was secretly shocked by Xie Xun's ambition, and even the Kongtong sect wanted to recruit him. He is a Taoist priest, a monk, and has no intention of taking care of secular affairs. However, not all Kongtong sects are Taoist priests, and not everyone in the Kongtong sect may have the ambition to rebel.
Now that the Mingjiao has controlled most of the Western Region, even if it does not take over the Central Plains in the future, it is very likely that it will split the territory and divide the territory. Although Jianghu is good, there are still fans of officials. What Mingjiao lacks most now is people, especially talents.
The Kongtong Sect is not like Shaolin. Shaolin is a sect maintained by religion, and they are all monks. Mingjiao cannot attract them to join Mingjiao. But the Kongtong sect is different. They are a sect connected by teaching martial arts, and they are a large martial arts hall. Their people are relatively free in terms of beliefs and identities, and it is possible to absorb them.
Yun Li said: "Thank you to the leader for his broad mind and great talent. I will pass on the leader's high righteousness to my disciples. If there is anyone who is interested in this, please ask the leader to take him in."
Xie Xun said: "What did the Taoist Master say? The Mingjiao just wants to bring together like-minded people in the world, so that the possibility of returning our mountains and rivers is higher. I want to thank the Kongtong Sect for their help."
Both of them were humble and friendly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Xie Xun said: "Kongtong sect's martial arts draws on the strengths of other martial arts schools. It has small and small weapons, is good at winning by surprise, and is powerful in the western border. Especially the Seven Injury Fist is famous all over the world. I have admired it for a long time."
Yun Liang was also very proud after hearing Xie Xun's words. Although Xie Xun's martial arts skills are unparalleled, the Kongtong sect's martial arts is also extraordinary, and the Seven Injury Fist is one of the best.
Yun Liang smiled modestly and said, "Thank you, Master Xie, for the award."
Xie Xun added: "I heard the origin of the Seven Injury Boxing. The five elements of the human body, the heart belongs to fire, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, the spleen belongs to earth, the liver belongs to wood, plus the two qi of yin and yang, one practice will lead to seven injuries. All are injured. With each level of the Seven Injury Fist's skills, one's own internal organs will suffer an additional layer of damage. In fact, one hurts oneself first, and then the enemy. I wonder what level of ability one needs to reach to practice this boxing method? Now the Kongtong Sect Is there anyone who has mastered this boxing technique?"
Yun Liang was shocked: "Xie Xun knows a lot about Seven Injury Fist. The general guide sternly warns that internal strength cannot be practiced until the point where Qi can flow through various acupoints and can be freely sent and received. As the leader, even if the internal strength is not there, he will not be able to practice it. Maybe he doesn’t practice the Kongtong sect’s mountain-crushing skills, does he want to challenge himself?”
Even though he knew he was outmatched, he could not back down. Yunli said: "Pindao has mastered this boxing technique, and I have two other disciples who also teach it."
Xie Xun has some ideas about the Seven Injury Fist, but in fact, for him now, the Seven Injury Fist is dispensable. But in the original work, the Seven Injury Fist is extremely important to Xie Xun. In order to practice the Seven Injury Fist, he suffered a broken heart and sometimes went crazy. Therefore, Xie Xun has an unyielding attachment to Seven Injury Fist.
It's not worth letting him grab it. It's best to find a way to get them to give it to you.
Xie Xun said: "I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Yunliang said: "Please tell me clearly from the leader."
Xie Xun said: "I have some knowledge of medical theory. I noticed that Taoist Master's strong practice of Seven Injury Boxing has injured himself. Taoist Master, please try pressing the Yunmen point on your shoulder. Is there any slight pain? Yunmen point belongs to the lungs, so it is an injury to the lung veins." . Is the Qingling point on your upper arm always numb and itchy? The Qingling point belongs to the heart, so it means the heart pulse is injured. Does the Wuli point on your leg feel sore every time it rains? The Wuli point belongs to the liver, so it is the liver The pulse is injured. The more you practice, the more severe these symptoms will become. If you practice for another eight or nine years, your whole body will inevitably be paralyzed."
Yun Liang was shocked. He was originally angry that Xie Xun looked down on him, but when he explained the symptoms accurately, he couldn't help but said, "Then what should we do?"
Xie Xun said: "Taoist Master, you must first stop practicing this boxing technique, and the Taoist Master's disciples should also stop practicing it."
Yun Li said: "Seven Injury Fist is the unique skill of our Kongtong sect, but Pindao, as the leader, cannot practice it. If you don't practice it and the skill is lost, how can you be worthy of your ancestors?"
Xie Xun thought for a while and said: "Then I will feel the Taoist Master's pulse first and see if there is any way to treat him first. As for practicing boxing, we will talk about it later."
Yunliang is not worried that Xie Xun will plot against him. With his martial arts, there is no need. So he stretched out his wrist calmly, and Xie Xun placed the three fingers of his right hand on his Cun Guan ruler.
A gentle stream of Nine Yang Qi went straight to Yunliang's Dantian, and Yunliang's whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
Yun Liang thought to himself: "Xie Xun is indeed worthy of his reputation. He has deep and mellow internal energy. In this short moment, he has benefited a lot."
Xie Xun slowly finished his work and asked, "What do you think, Taoist Master?"
Yunliang said: "Very good. The leader's great kindness will be remembered in my heart. I don't know that my two disciples..."
Xie Xun said: "Then let's all come and take a look."
Yunliang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
Yunliang called two of his disciples who practiced "Seven Injury Boxing" to come to see Xie Xun.
Yunliang introduced Xie Xun and said, "Master Xie, these are my eldest disciple Guan Neng and my second disciple Zong Weixia."
Xie Xun looked at the two of them and smiled: "You have all been to Guangmingding."
Master Yunliang and his disciples looked embarrassed, Xie Xun said: "It doesn't matter, we will turn our hostility into friendship from now on. Don't worry about what happened in the past."
Xie Xun treated the injuries of the two of them in turn. Fortunately, the training time for the two was still short and it was not serious. Their injuries were quickly resolved by Xie Xun's deep internal strength.
Xie Xun treated the wounds of the Kongtong sect regardless of past suspicions, and naturally gained the favor of the Kongtong sect.
